Shift control problem

[Glassmaster]

I got a 1970 Evinrude 40 hp motor with Power Pilot<br />throtle & shift control. If I adjust the cable there is no point where I can get it to shift fully into both Fwd or Rev. It seems there is not enough throw back at the shifter arm on the motor. So I have to have someone push it all the way into Rev. Any Ideas will Help. this is a Manual shift model not a electric shift model.

RWM....just caught yer post. Who makes Power Pilot?? Don't recall ever hearing of that control. If it's a generic, you may have to use their control cables with the control box.

there is an adjustment on the shift handle at the motor<br />also be sure shift link screws are tight (behind panel at side of exhaust housing) and that the shift shafts are located in the connecter properly
