Re: Control box problems '82 OMC
Thanks for the offer Joe. Now I know I have to get a ditial camera! Too many things on the plate to tackle that right now. I'll try to give you more infro and maybe you can help that way.<br /><br />I am using OMC manaul NO.392790. There is a diagram on page 9-5 and I replaced the shift Lockout lever(#67). The part looks exactly the same as the old one except it has a longer botton flange that goes into the cam(#20). I had to grind that flange down as it was too long and would bind on the case. However my box is differant than shown in 9-5 in that shift lockout cam(#20)is held in place by one screw and the throttle lever assembley(#38) is offset mounted on the cam. My cam is also smaller. I also do not have the Keeper Plate(#68). There is a taped hole in my case where a scew would go for the keeper. Right next to that hole is a ~5/8" round "bumpup" similar to the "stop" in fig.9-20. The "bumpup" is about 1" away from the stop.<br /><br />I hope the above will get you dialed into what I have. I don't think I got anything in there miss placed. The only thing I took off and put back was the shift lever and the cam but I think it only goes back together one way.<br /><br />The only thing I can see that can be put back together in two differnet ways is that Shift lockout lever(#67). It can either be postioned so as to go between the "bumpup" and the trottle stop, or, go next to the throttle lever ass.(#38). Unforunally I can't remember where it went when I took it apart.<br /><br />Can you shed any light on my problem with the above? hope you can follow it.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />StillFishin'
