Re: 9.5hp Johnson/Evinrude characteristics

I put the lower unit on motor today and ran it for over 1 hour today at wot. 2 hours total. I was also testing the nova IIs in motor but that’s another story. What is unusual about the gear issue is that I noticed today and the last time I ran the motor when I leave the shore I am in reverse. After putting motor in fwd it doesn’t pop out of gear. It mainly does it when I go from neutral to fwd.

I started thinking about that and remember that the clutch dog was frozen on shaft from salt water when I got motor it took me a day or 2 to get it to free where it would slide back and forth. The gear case was taken apart and in a coffee can for the most part when I got it. After a little while today after running wide open throttle I put the motor in neutral then back in fwd and it would pop out of gear when I give it a little throttle. I started to put it in reverse then in fwd a few times in a row at low idle then back to fwd and try it. Most the time it did not pop out of gear. I watched where the shift lever would be in relation to was it popping out of gear or not. After a little while I new by looking at shifter if it would stay in gear. I think the problem might fix itself with use . More than likely the dog seems to be a tad fininiky at sliding on the shaft still. I may not have got the clutch dog totally resolved when I free’d it up.

Thanks for the help,
Joe
