Re: prop spins in neutral stops in forward
Re: prop spins in neutral stops in forward
a) pump not assembled correctly
b) you missed the pump outlet with the water tube
c) the grommet in the pump outlet got folded over during final assembly
d) incorrect parts used
e) pump body not well sealed to wear plate
f) pump housing or wear plate scored (if complete kit not installed)
g) pump air bleed hole plugged
h) water not deep enough for the pump to do its thing
i) debris stuck in water passages
j) stuck thermostat or vernitherm
k) key missing or incorrect
l) you went cheap and installed only an impeller, rather than a complete OEM kit
m) diverters missing or incorrectly installed
n) pump rotates clockwise looking from the top
The vanes make no difference ... if you install them incorrectly oriented, they will flip to the correct position upon rotation.
The running in neutral is likely something you did which changed the effective shift rod length.
