Motor is 1991 Merc Outboard Tiller 40 hp 2 stroke 4 cyl.
After pulling and reassembly of bearing carrier and lower unit I cannot shift into nuetral or reverse.
With the lower unit off and the bc and prop shaft installed i can rotate the shift shaft to select gears. In forward prop ratchets cw and is tight ccw. In neutral prop spins freely. In reverse, its the same as in forward.
With the lower unit installed and the bc and prop shaft removed I can see the cam shifter move when i move the shift lever. It appears to be postioned correctly.
With everything together it just stays in forward. Ive pulled it apart multiple times and cannot figure out what i am doing wrong.
Please help.
