Pretty new to this site. I have a 1975 50 hrs evinrude. Model# 50573L. Serial# E0005996.
I'm having problems starting and shifting into reverse. Last fall it ran good. Went to store it and tried to start
One last time b4 putting away and there was now power. So just thought dead battery. So now I have
Charged the battery. I turn the key and nothing. Every thing else works lights and stuff but nothing with motor. So I think maybe its not in neutral so I try to move the controls alittle bit. The lever on the controls will go down to forward than back up to neutral. But that's it. Won't push back into reverse. When I turn the key there is no click noise. Nothing at all. Looking for any idea's on where to start or what the problem could be? Anything would very appreciated. Thanks
