hello guys, i have looked but havent seen my issue addressed- here's what i've got going on:
KTV27407 1973 7 1 Made by Clinton Mod K700
Clinton Engin Corp
Model: K700 2107 A
Serial: 647637
Type: 60 27370 R
Mongomery Wards Sea King 7 hp

there's a lever on the left of the motor that the manual says is neutral / forward. however, the prop turns and the motor will start in either position. the lever is connected to an off set / bent rod (wire) that goes up into the motor area under the pull start assembly that is held on with 4 screws. i CANNOT get those screws out- neither could my mountain man brother. theres no rust or corrosion showing. thoughts, ideas? is there a neutral?

i greatly appreciate all feedback.
