[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 381000, member: 169"] I took the afternoon and fiddled around with it with my 9 year old son's help. I figured even if we didn't get it going the father-son time would be well spent. I watched intently while he was shifting the motor from forward to neutral before the throttle engaged. and then slowly adjusted the shifter cable to push further and further until it went into gear. The trial and error part took some time, but after tinkering around it seems to be shifting fine in a barrel. I can't wait until I can get it out and see how it works on the water. I may still have to fine tune the throttle cable a bit to make sure it isn't idling too high or restricting WOT but I can't do that until I can open her up and get her going real well. Thanks for all of the advice! Like usual I just had to get off my behind and get my hands dirty until I figured something out. [/QUOTE]
