I just purchased a 1974 15hp Johnson. The motor will go into reverse but it I really have to play with the shift lever a bit as it won't immediately engage. I tried playing with the linkage adjustment inside the motor cover but no matter how I adjust it it seems that I am limited by the metal stop that limits how far the plate will move.
Also it runs quite well most of the time, but will stall occasionally at lower idle. Any ideas hear? Anything else I need to know or watch out for with this engine. Thanks for your help.
