Oh thanks guys. I spent today adjusting the motor, seems to run pretty good. I found one of your old messages on grounding out an engine that wont shut down. That came in handy making some adjustment on the engine. After I got the motor running pretty smooth I decided to check out the control box to see why engine would not start or stop from key switch and duh the harness had come unplugged. Seems like I spend more time troubleshooting myself. Only thing left now -said will gnashing my teeth is to pull motor and remove kingpin.Still waiting on a part to repair the foot. Might wait for that to get here and make sure foot works like it should before tackling kingpin. I will also check out grainger, I hate to put a steel tube in for saltwater fishing also want to change tilt tube to stainless steel. I did that on my other motor, never had another steering cable problem.
Anyways thanks guys yall make this so much easier.
Just wish I had found yall three years ago.
