Thanks Guys,
Currently the lower unit is off the motor sitting on my workbench. The engine idles and runs awesome I even put the electronic modules in it and replaced the points when I rebuilt engine and gearcase. They are the nova ii modules but I am going to replace them with the Atom Reds I am building them myself now I just finished up my 3hp 1952 twin yesterday mounting permanently mounting the Atom Reds and installing the mosorb diodes in the modules. I then test ran the engine for over 2 hours on the lake.
The exhaust bellow is in excellent condition I inspected it when I rebuilt the engine.
I checked for slop in the shift rod it doesn’t have any slop or play when I grab it where the lower unit connects to it and move the shift handle from fwd to rev. The only play I could find was where the actual shift handle slides into the clevis. Part # 64 and #66. That play looks to be normal like 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I did move the shift rod in lower unit up and down it has considerable pressure from the detent spring.
I tried yesterday to push the motor toward the rear of engine housing with all my strength but it didn’t move much.
I don’t want to take gears apart prematurely since I rebuilt both the engine and lower unit I don’t think I would have not put that piece in because I did put in a new detent spring #26 in it old one was fatigued. Just can’t remember if I put part # 25 in first diagram in. The shift rod takes substantial pressure to move from fwd to neutral to reverse so I am going to put the lower unit back on motor and with hood off motor watch to see how far the motor shifts when I throttle it up. I want to also disconnect the shift attachment from the pan area to see if that keeps it from popping out of gear. If that doesn’t work I will have to take the gear case apart as a last step.
I am also going to try and move the foot from front to rear once its back on to see if the rubber mounts in lower half could be bad as well. Those mounts are in the diagram below especially part #93.
Thanks for the help,
Joe
