Hi,
I've got a 2000 200hp ficht that frequently stalls during shifting. Occasionally I also get a Code 28 (neutral safety switch). Can someone please explain the proper procedure for adjusting the shift linkage? I think my cable may be stretched a bit and I would like to be sure this is correct before replacing the switch (the switch appears to work fine on a meter when shifted by hand).
Thank you.

Re: Ficht shift linkage adjustment

Your local library should have a manual for your engine and the procedure should be in there. Can't help you much on this as I am stubborn enough I would just do trial and error. Mostly error.

Thanks for the reply. No libraries in my area have any repair books on that year motor.
I was hoping someone could reply with an actual procedure. I guess this is one of those repairs that no one knows anything about, so I guess your trial and error is probably how most people do it.
