Hi, got an John faststrike -92 175.<br />How ever i try i cant get that shift switch work like it should (it should kill half the engine when you put it in gear)<br />So now i would like to talk to someone that got the same engine.<br />Yes i got a seloc manual but it doesnt say a word about that switch and i have order a omc manual.<br />What im most int. of is to see how the linkage is hooked up.

It only works when you come OUT of gear going into neutral.

How could it? I mean it hit the, how should i say this, well the same "spot" when you put in and out of gears, doesnt it?<br />I figure out how it works, that little knob is pushed up a little and kill half the engine.<br />Im for sure that your right (your the pro on here). Im just a little more interested how it work's, looks so simple.<br />And if its only there to help you get out of gear i do not have to wory about that my gears will get hurt when i push them in.

Just make sure the motor is idling low like it should and dont shift into gear softly. It'll be fine. <br /><br />When they went to the slightly higher degree on the engagement ramp angle of the gear and dog, if the motor idled slightly higher, it was a bear to get out of gear without the interrupter. <br /><br />Actually I dont have one on my 1993. It was missing when I bought it and I never replaced it. But my motor will idle at 450 in gear.

I had my gears and pinion replaced for about two weeks ago (the pinion had loose one theet)<br />My idle in neutral says 1k on the the tach (not sure with the gear in, if i remember right about 700-800).<br />Does this sounds ok or should or do i have to get it in lower rpm?<br />Got another problem after the gear replace. From time to time its no way that i can get it in revers.<br />But i figure out (on hose in garden) that the prop start to go rev but the control is almost frozen and the "rev clic" dosent sound.<br />After some tries forward and rev (in the garden on hose)it start act normaly again.<br /><br />Should also say that i have no prob at all to get it in neutral.

7-800 in gear is too much. Look for a max of 650. Lower if possible.

Correct me if im wrong. But there is an idle screw where i can control the idle?<br />Got a seloc manual but im not sure if it covers up exact this at my engine.
