I have a 2001 25 hp yamaha model 25MSHZ.
Last winter I burned up the pump housing, so I tore into the lower unit to replace the pump. The telltale has great discharge (before I changed the pump, it did not). Now however, I have a new problem and I am having trouble fixing it. So I figured I would ask the experts.
My problem is this: The motor is staying in gear, no matter what position I have the shifter in. Also, when I shift into reverse, the motor jumps in and out of gear and clangs and clacks. It also seems that forward is a much smaller window than neutral and reverse when shifting. To add, when in forward, i can only go about half throttle until the throttle handle hits a wall... I looked at the control and found that the shifting arm (if thats what its called) is not being lifted up enough to clear the throttle arm, and is thus acting as a dead stop at half throttle. I assume that the shift linkage is out of wack and not adjusted correctly? Is there a correct procedure to do that, or is that even the issue? Help!
