Hey all<br /><br />I've a most likely simple question. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to why this motor might be slipping out of gear?<br /><br />With the throttle less than half way, it run's fine, but if I give it<br />throttle above half way, it slips into nuetral. The RPM's stay the<br />same, but it slips out of gear...??<br /><br />I'm thinking it might be an oil related issue?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any advice

First welcome to the board! is there metal shavings in the oil? not a good sign. if you reduce the throttle does it pick back up? if it does you may have a spun hub in the prop. is it remote shift or the shifter on the side of the engine? could be out of adjustment.
