I got a 2004 25HP (F25ESHC) 4-stroke. Its a tiller motor, with a manual shifter, electric start. When the motor is in neurtal, I can feel/hear a clicking sound like it is not in neutral good. I can push the gear shift lever a little toward reverse and the clicking stops. I checked the linkage rod that is connected to the shifter. I thought that it may have been bent throwing off the shift point, but it seems right. When I shift it into reverse and hit the gas, it will jump out of gear. Like it is not in reverse good.
I could not see any place to adjust the shifter. Down near the lower unit, I can see a nut on the shifting rod going down into the foot. Thats about all I can see.
There has not been any damage or repairs to the motor. Bought it new and the only thing I have ever done is changed the oil/lube. Is there a way to adjust the linkage?
