I've got a 72 125hp Johnson. I was running it the other day without any hitches and shut it down for about an hour. When I started the motor back up (in neutral), it immediately engaged in forward. I quickly turned it off, and tried again and found that when I turned it on in N, it would go forward, and when in R, it would still go forward. Throttling the motor still made for more RPM's and nothing else seemed to be a problem, it just wouldn't N or R. I then shut it down to look at the motor, and then after that, I could not get it started again.
