Re: Johnson 55hp hydro-electric shift, No neutral
Its strange that you have reverse but not neutral, as I remember it from doing mine, neutral required power to one soleniod, (as detailed by schematic and dragonslayer) and reverse requires both soleniods to be powered. so if you were not getting both you should not be getting reverse either..<br /><br />are you sure you got the two wires around the correct way? it sounds as though the reverse is working because its both wires (if both are energised, it will work however you hook it up.) but neutral isn't because its engaging the wrong soleniod.. or I should say disengaging the wrong soleniod.<br /><br />One thing I did with mine to make sure it was working before I bolted it back onto the motor was test it with my cordless drill.. I got an old socket extension, cut the female end off, and used a socket that fit onto the spline on top of the driveshaft.. then I put the extension into my cordless drill and spun it (the driveshaft).. then connecting the body of the leg to negative on a battery and one or both wires to the positive I could test all gear positions... once I was satisfied that it all worked, I reinstalled the foot.<br /><br />Hope this helps..<br /><br />rgds<br /><br />Frank
