2005 Yamaha 4-stroke 60hp Tiller- won't start due to tiller handle "neutral position"

Re: 2005 Yamaha 4-stroke 60hp Tiller

Ok....let me see if I can explain this.....

For a few years now, if I had my tiller in neutral and went to start it, on the occasion I'd get nothing. But just a tiny giggle the shifter handle and *VROOM*, starts up right away. So, something is loose or possible wearing out.

So today, I went to test start it in the back yard and NOTHING. No amount of giggling will get it to turn over.

Anyone know if there is a contact part in the handle that can wear out? I'm guessing whatever safety feature that let's the motor know it's in neutral is no longer working.

Any direction to a part and/or fix would be appreciated!

Thanks Gang

Tom
