1972 evinrude need help please

[Jerome Morris]

I’m trying to get an old evinrude to run and I am not a mechanic. I have been working from parts diagrams and utube . I am wondering if I have to have the shift control system installed before I can start it or is there a short cut. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You do have to have everything installed OR know what you are doing if you want to hotwire it otherwise. One mistake can cost you $$$$$$

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and I will wait until I get one Monday to proceed. Thank you again!
