Water pump rebuilt but I am having a issue that I can't solve. Getting neutral into center with linkage. I followed the Clymer's chapter 8 to a "T" several times. Other than finding out that their page 354 Ref. photo 33 is WRONG.
RIGHT
Turning the drive shaft in a clockwise direction turns the prop shaft in a clockwise direction in forward gear and against clockwise in reverse.
WRONG
Turning the drive shaft in a clockwise direction turns the prop shaft in a against clockwise direction in forward gear and a clockwise in reverse.
Now that we got that out of the way. Are they wrong about any of this?
Putting the shift lever into reverse and shift lever (lower unit) in reverse. My splines do not line up perfect so I have to move my reverse lever a "small" amount and then the lower unit stabs.
Here is the problem. I get my linkage in neutral adjusted at the control. I put the center dot on the center post on the linkage for the shift shaft. I adjust the cable connector to the neutral post. Test prop and it is in forward gear. If I move the shift lever at the helm toward a reverse position I can get the lower unit to go into neutral, but then my shift lever is disengaged at the helm and will not manual throttle or even start because it if of the neutral kill.
Why is my lower unit making me shift toward reverse to get into neutral? I can manually put the motor into reverse, neutral and forward but my neutral is about 3/4" off my center mark, toward reverse, on the mount on the motor.
PLEASE HELP. I am tried of restabing this dang lower unit!~
