Thanks for the quick reply. It does not jump or buck. Just loses engagement as I move the throttle up. Then ehgages as I throttle down. I did notice my cotter was gone. So I pulled the prop. Shear pin was fine. I do not think there is a rubber hub. I can look again. My thought does go to a cable adjustment However even manually it does not stay engaged. Thanks for the parts offer Fred. I may take you up on that. fleetwin. If you have any pointers I am all propellers. Smile
OK, well that is actually a good sign…Shear pin is OK, so I would try a different prop…The rubber hub has probably spun. You can check the trim rod/pin positioning adjustment also. Perhaps someone set the trim pin out too far. Although it is a good idea to check cable adjustments and shift linkage frequently on these engines also. Once a clutch dog starts “jumping” due to an adjustment/linkage issue, it is usually damaged enough that it will require replacement, even if the adjustment/linkage issue is corrected….
