Re: 18 evinrude, reverse and forward problem
Speaking of an old '50s to '70s motor? The shifter handle shaft is probably worn loose and sloppy where it goes through the housing. AND/OR the lever on the inner end of the same shaft has come loose.
OR, the motor has been run without gear oil and the shifter cradle in the lower unit is worn out, along with the gear's bushings.
