I need some advice about a 6hp Suzuki (year unknown, although it is 90's) outboard I am getting ready to inherent when I buy an Ensenada 20. The owner of the boat says he bought the engine from someone else and has had it in storage for a year. He said it started right up with a carb clean and new plugs. However, he was testing it in a trashcan and said that she would shift from neutral to forward and he never touched a thing. Any ideas? I am hoping just a linkage issue that might not be too hard to fix.<br />She looks great on the inside, no corrosion, tubing not dry rotted.....looks to me not many hours.<br /><br />Thanks for any thoughts on the shifting issue. pcgillik@duke.edu
