    I had removed the shifter handle to properly apply a strip of new chrome tape all around the cowl and since it had rubbed off the original tape over the years due to side friction I installed a small spacer washer before reasembling everything . I assumed it was vertical to begin with but things took a turn when I installed the LU finding it illogical to push it back to forward propeller wise.

    I rotated the shifter 90 degrees to horizontal and now………… UP is forward and Down is Reverse

    whomever buys that refurbished oldy won’t know the difference 🙂

    thanks for info.
