I've had this outboard my brother gave me and am attempting to get it running. I started it up last summer after some work and had some issues so trying to get them fixed as a winter project.
A couple of the issues I had was it started and ran fine, but It got blistering hot quickly and I had just installed a new water pump? I check the water tube and it was not blocked after i blew air through it, I am sure the pump is installed correctly?
Is there a pee hole or something so I can visibly see if it is pumping water or do these run hotter than normal?
Also it is stuck in forward, cant get it to go into nuetral. in looking at the shift cable that is attached to a little lever, i cant tell what it trips to go from forward to nuetral? Only thing i can tell is that it may catch the end of that spring that is sticking out, which looks like it may be broken off?? But not sure, hopefully someone familiar with this model and the pics can see if anything looks out of wack that would not be causing it to shift??
thanks,
