Hey everyone,
Finally got to take the restored Glastron out on the lake this weekend. She ran very well for a first trial run. Transom seemed very solid.
I think I must have the throttle and shift linkages incorrectly adjusted. When I push the control Box handle forward, the distributor doesn't start to move until I extend the arm pretty far forward, and of course, that's about where the motor starts to pick up some throttle.
The motor also starts in a few slow forward gear, Neutral and Reverse don't seem to be working at all right now.
Can somebody walk me through how to get these correctly set? Is it a trial an error thing or is there an easier way to get this set correctly? Should I take it to a mechanic?
Thanks,
Scott
