OK...so another question as I try to get my boat fully functional under power.
I dropped in the new (to me) engine from Canada. She runs well and now that I've got the run out measurement dialed in to the specs, the vibration of the propeller shaft is practically gone. The new problem I have is that when I transition the gear shift/throttle knob from forward to reverse, the engine will cut off. I can bring her from forward to the upright "neutral" position and then ease her into reverse but if I try to get any significant power in the reverse position, the throttle cable doesn't move upward as it should for acceleration but downward as it would for deceleration, thereby shutting the engine down.
Any ideas?
