Hey All,

I have read the other posts about control cable problems with these motors and am still at a loss. I do plan on picking up a Clymer repair manual but I figured I would check with you guys first.

It is a 87 Force 50 hp. The cables line up good and everything connect well. However I cannont shift into forward due to the neutral interlocking cams binding up. No matter how I adjust the cables it seems to happen. It will however shift into reverse.

I need to confim the end couplers. The fixed elbow goes to the shift linkage and the spring loaded end goes to the throttle, I believe (but am not sure). Also, I there another way to adjust the linkages, other than on the lever and the cable ends at the motor?

The throttle and shift cams just keep binding and I am wits end, please help and thank you for your time! :confused:
