Re: 1956 Johnson 35HP not going into gear

[harpua]

i didnt try to disconnect it, but that was how i put it into gear when i had it running in a tub. its exactly the same engine as the gale i am working on so i will take pictures of the gale and try and see a difference.

the gearshift linkage. yes, it worked initially, then stopped., i went to the back of the boat and moved the shifter to see if it was the controls in front, but the boat is wooden and it was its first day in the water and would swell very good so i had to stay in the bow for the tow.

this screw, same as on a 59 gale? i will go check the screw, if it is, is the lower end contaminated now?
