Re: 74 OMC 250 -Jolting-slipping gear-shift linkage- problem need help newbie here
Well it lasted only a couple outings and its back to jolting. I now have the shift cable adjusted correctly and the jolting is very slowly starting to come back. I re adjusted the cable once again and it was right where it was suppost to be but when it jolts it still jolts that whole shift linkage assembaly and that overstroke switch is going off like crazy causing it to cut out I beleave. So should I try replacing that switch or could that even be the problem? What I don't understand is after adjusting the cable correctly it worked great for two outings now back to the same thing but not nearly as often or as bad.
