Re: OMC Cobra stalling when shifting into reverse.
Since you know this, you need to know if the shift actuator is displaced (from center) once you're in either gear (especially REV) .......
SO have someone shift the thing into REV and you observe what it does.
If it IS displaced once you're in fully IN gear, one of the cables is STILL not adjusted correctly.
The shift actuator should ONLY move when you move the shifter. and if it moves when going into gear, it not only shouldn't move much, but it should center immediately when your in either FWD or REV. My 87 King Kobra NEVER activated the ESA going into either gear. NOT ONCE.
I know for sure that the microswitch is being pressed the entire time the boat is in reverse
