bills: thanks for the reply:  last nite I dug around some and found that on my engine the set screws are square with the arm and on others I saw the screws were oblique at quite a angle. I think that is what allowed them to get into the hole (sort of two holes as the screws enter from both sides, if that makes sense) and keep it from slipping. Makes me wonder if one of the other arms would work on this engine as that is certainly a better method of securing the arm against slipping. My photos show the lever in the 3 position as dictated by the detents and not any random positioning by myself. Thanks for the heads up about there being no ‘real manual’ for this engine. I was thinking myself an inept searcher after the hours wasted trying to find one! I did uncover other interesting mercury info though.  Thanks Again  Regards  Tom Alexander
