Re: Fone-Man, Crom, J.B.or 12 Footer I'm in trouble.

I am posting/copying so they do not have to chase down.... Oh, I haven't a clue as to what it might be???<br /><br />---------------------------------------------<br /><br />Author Topic: Lost forward. adjustment? <br />harrison20002 <br />Captain <br />Member # 4092 <br />Rate Member <br /> posted September 05, 2001 06:04 PM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />I just got back from a local lake. I put the boatin the water and backed away from the ramp. When I put it in forward gear, nothing. I pulled the cowling off and sprayed the linkage with wd-40 and it went into gear. I trolled for about an hour, then stopped at the Marina for a cold drink. When I got back into the boat, no forward again. Is there an adjustment on the shift linkage of a 60's model Chrysler 6.6.? It has never done this before and the little motor hasn't jambed around, my wife and I only use it for trolling. Thanks for any advice anyone can give me. harrison20002<br />--------------------<br /><br />Hal H Virgo <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> :(

MANY THANKS REX, I pulled the LU off and replaced the spring in the shift clutch and bingo, Forward gear works. Thanks again. Hal. :D
