Hoping someone can help me. Bought a new 6hp 4 stroke Tohatsu outboard 6 weeks ago. Yesterday I went to start it and the engine jerked to the side. Normally when I go to start the motor, I shift it into forward, neutral, reverse then back to neutral just to make sure I am in neutral BEFORE starting it. Well I couldn't get it to go into reverse. I am thinking it is stuck in a gear. I took the cowling off to watch the movement inside while switching gears and it won't go into reverse. Then after fiddling with it for a while, I can get it to go into reverse. I put it into neutral and it started. Then same thing happened again today where it wouldn't start? Any ideas?
