I just got a 1996 6hp Johnson that runs very nice. It has not been used in 3 years. I checked over and greased up everything I could find, but the lever to put the engine in gear is really binding up on something. I can get it in forward, but have to use some encouragement to get it back out. Before I drop the lower unit to check it out further, does anyone have any suggestions of what to look at?<br /><br />Thanks!
