Actually no. The shifter has a washer on the shift rod that pulls the fork up in forward only. If the cam pulled out of the lower the motor will be unlocked on reverse and neutral.
You need to be at a certain Rpm in gear and idling. I think around 750 rpm is right for that motor. There might also be mix screws on the carb that need to be opened a little bit. Get a manual for your motor.
The 99 merc lower will fit but you will need the shift rod from the 94. That requires disassembling the lower unit. Does the linkage move behind the carb at all? Can you tilt the motor up in reverse?
Joe reeves method requires you subtract 4 degrees. Do not deviate from that. You do not care about idle timing at all. Idle speed will be set in the lake in gear and warm.
I believe the 99 uses a little different shift rod it has a bend at the top. Usually those lower units are robust very seldom do the just stop shifting. Might be an easy fix
why do you think a 150 prop will fit that motor? Stop making this so hard on yourself. you don't need to buy a Mercury or any of the other brand name props. Solas props are relatively cheap and are pretty good props. You are not running a 100 MPH boat here. Call Michigan wheel or Solas to get...
Almost none of that statement has any basis in fact. Except the stainless is heavier than aluminum that is true. This just proves how little is known about props.
#1 stainless is better performing pretty much across the board
#2 dropping pitch does not necessarily mean losing speed because the...
