I baught a used Suzuki 150 cc Outboard engine.
When I shift the lever to reverse the engine rev's up but the prop does not engage.

I was told that it may be a pin that came off but I cannot find it.

Any Ideas?

Lost in :confused:

Try asking in the Yamaha/Suzuki forum. They'll have an answer for you.

2 things
disconnect the shifter cable, and then try shifting into revers
next check lower lube for metal shavings
i would say cable out of adjust, or the cam/shifter rod is out
if clutch dog was going out u would here click click noises

Thanks that worked. The shifter cable was not pushing back on the lever.
