Re: 15 hp force 1987 help!!
That connects to the shift linkage. In neutral, it is centered so that the magneto advance plate can not pass the plastic piece and advance timing and carb to full throttle. In forward or reverse, it moves the plastic stop up and down to clear the magneto advance plate and allow full throttle operation. From the photos, I can not tell how it connects to the shift linkage. Force changed it a couple of times and it is different from Chrysler so offhand I don't know.
