HI,
I finished my carb kit and other adustments on my 15hp, 1984 Johnson. We put her on the boat and it ran like a top for 10 minutes, getting up to 17 mph pushing a 12 ft. hewescraft.
The problem, however, started when the motor stalled ~ not enough gas ~ but when we tried to shift the motor into neutral for starting, we could not get it out of reverse. We can move the shift lever to the N and F settings, but it does not engage the gear case as the shift rod is clearly moving.
I'm thinking it is the cradle for the gear that allows it to engage each clutch dog in the gear case.
Any suggestions?
