Hello folks,
the motor in question is a '61 Evinrude 10hp model number 10022. For the past few weeks i been having shifting issues. Everything from not going into gear, to popping out of gear while cruising along. I pulled the lower unit and inspected everything. The lower shift rod was a little bent and i was able to bend it straight. I put everything back together and i am still having issues. It looks like the shift rods are not traveling through their full motion. I can use a pry bar and pry up or down on the linkage, and it goes in gear no problem and with ease, it just wont go using the shift lever. Is there a adjustment I can make to get the shifting correct? Is there something else i can do to get this corrected?
Thanks,
Will
