Re: Problems shifting in forward and reverse
Do you have a manual? It is relatively long to explain, but if the lower unit is not adjusted properly OR if the neutral rpm limiter is not adjusted properly, it will bind up and shifting will be very difficult. Under the bottom carb you will see where the shift rod goes down. Near the bottom of the linkage tower you will see the neutral rev limiter--a slightly angular flat plateon the throttle advance and idle stop casting. Right behind it there is a plate that it contacts only in neutral. This plate is connected by two screws to the shift rod. If out of adjustment, the rev cam and plate will drag on each other when you try to shift. Also, be sure that the screws that hold the cable clamps are not too long. If they protrude through the clamp, they will rub and bind.
