.....at least I believe that's what it's called....takes the engine "out of gear"?
Since I got my gal running last night, it's a beautiful day here in North Texas, so I took her out, and my son tagged along. This was the first time I'd had her on the water.... For the most part she did great, I'd say that 8 of 10 times she cranked right up....
Only problem I had....and I have a couple questions about this-that neutral switch I am referencing.....this one seems to occasionally be hostile, as in: you pull it out to start it, and every once in a blue moon, the motor still won't turn over, as if it (switch) were still engaged. Now, back where it connects to the motor(just north of the fuel pump), I can pull the motor cover, "wiggle" that connection, and it seems to come back to life. Should I pull the connections loose there and clean them? Asking because I am not sure if this is a "sensitive" connection.
Other question: is that switch supposed to be so hard to pull out/push in? Mine seems to be. Does it need to be greased, or WD-40'd or something?
