I just finished replacing my gimbal bearing, u-joint bellows and exhaust valve. After putting everything back together, it was time for the retest. Started great, shifted ahead fine, but when I tried to start giving it some gas it stalled out. Restarted and tried the same thing in the astern direction. No problems. Shifted and throttled great. Retried the ahead direction. This time I quickly shifted and moved to about the midway point in the ahead direction. It sounded like it was about to stall recovered and then after that throttled great in the ahead direction. I went back to neutral and back to ahead.....then it stalled again. I feel it has something to do with the shift cable while I was taking the pivot housing off. just to make sure there wasn't anything wrong with the carborator/fuel throttle, I started it, shifted to ahead but not throttled then manually throttled it without using the helm throttle control. Throttled just fine. What could I have done with shift cable that it messing with my ahead throttling? What can I do to fix it. I have the SELOC manual and it doesn't really address this or provide any kind of way to troubleshoot. I investigated to the extent of my boating knowledge to no avail.
