    found the problem … 🙁 the lateral push rod that converts the rotation of the tiller handle into left to right movement to rotate the mag plate has worn gears

    when the tiller gears mesh into the push rod they meet up with a worn spot then skip out

    when the tiller is held vertically the gears match in unused mesh point and works perfect . Upon lowering the tiller the gears slip making the tiller speed control useless.

    Voilà… I need the gismo

    I think this new to me $60 turtle with 90 psi cylinders 🙂 was rarely greased anywhere in its life… but is is slowing coming out of a long coma. …..
