    I bought this motor last fall, started and run fine. I hooked this motor up on a different boat, and noticed the shift arm was broke. It looked like slot in arm was broke. Unscrewed makeshift bolt holding arm on, arm come apart in pieces, noticed threaded hole was stripped out. Installed newer shift arm and threaded hole would not line up with slot on shift arm, as you can see in picture, bolt hole does not line up with slot. Shift arm coming off motor with 1/4-20 threaded hole, is in neutral now, as shown in picture. He mentioned he put a new water pump, along with ign tune up, when I bought this engine. Can this be adjusted out if I pull lower unit off, or is the problem under the powerhead?
