I have a 9.9 evinrude 78 outboard that starts,idels and runs great.The problems is that when its running wide open for say15-20 minutes,it losses the gear and the rpms just shoot up.The tiller dosent let me throttle down while this is happening and the shifter looks like it returned itself to neutral.It happened three times yesterday.I checked the lower unit oil and it was milky and sort of thick but no shavings or broken teeth.It has never felt like theres been any grinding.So im kinda confused as to say weather the lower unit is done in or it could just be a linkage problem in the shifter.All knowledge will be appreciated.
