Just got this motor running today and noticed water dripping behind shift handle.I am thinking shift seal and bushing must be replaced. Have done whole ignition and it fired right up and ran.I might as well keep going its no good like this. Thanks all. Russ…
The drip and the slop can both be easily fixed by drilling out the housing to accept a bushing made out of brass tubing. The tubing is available at a hobby shop and just about every motor I tear down gets this treatment for ‘like new again’ performance.
