That is maybe the problem. I havent tryed starting it yet. It must be able to start in gear? I have to clean the fuel tank before I put new gas in it and I am only getting spark on one cylinder so havent messed with it to much. I will go threw the ignition to! Just wanted to check water pump before I attempted to start it but thought it should be in neutral to do so. There seems to be good spring pressure on the shift lever but when putting in neutral it still clicked as in gear. I think on this one I will probably have a few more questions down the road. Thanks, Jim
