Nevermind, I just broke the darn housing trying to remove the propeller shaft and carrier. It FUBAR now. Ugh. Time to find a used lower unit. Not too happy with myself.
Thanks racerone. The shift rod moves freely with no resistance. 90 degrees freely. It like it's stuck in forward.when move the shift rod counter clockwise it moves with no effort pas the neutral location and reverse location. Any ideas?
Thanks Flyingscott, I can't get the lower unit to shift out of forward while on the on the work bench I'm afraid of reattaching it before I get it working.

So it looks like the interconnect cable hooks to part 14. But this one in the picture doesn't show it the same as mine with the arm sticking out the other way that the interconnect cable attached to. However in the starter cord housing parts diagram the interconnect cable is in the parts...
Ok, I'm not great at this, but I think you talking about the fuel line to the carburetor. It has paint in it making it look cracked. It's actually is in good shape (maybe the only thing). I removed the line from the adapter to the fuel pump as it was leaking. Its being remade for me.
