Reply To: baffled-big twin-shifter lock vs stop link assembly

[outboardnut]

So I went to Motorhead meet today and asked.
I am now convinced that when in neutral the shifter lever should be at the the beginning of the stop link assembly.(number 2)
When in reverse the shifter lever should be at the second notch (number 1)
If the shifter lever does not do what I wrote above.
That means that some time in the motors life the shifter lever got bent.
If I encounter a motor that shifter does not do the above I am just going to leave it as it.
I do always hook up the vacuum switch.
Thank all for your patience
