hi guys, i picked up a nice little 98 6hp ev and had it running really nice and now it wont even come close to starting. i don't know much about this engine but have a couple of questions:
1. where the heck is the kill switch? i see a red kill along the arm with a clip to keep it from connecting. that isn't the only one, is it?
2. i think the ev is not starting as for some reason the cogs that control the shifting from n-f-r are not moving the cable . my buddy realigned the shift cable and then i couldn't start it anymore, so i think those cogs, gears arent' working properly. when i move the shifter and am watching inside, the main plastic gears but the the cable itself .. nothing moves. i am quite certain that isn't correct , and it prob won't start because either i screwed up the kill swithc ( see above where is the little sucker) or the gear is stuck in forward of reverse and therefore the whole unit won't start.
3. and hey, what is this idle adjustment on the end of the tiller handle? buddy just read about that in our manual. we thought maybe it was a kill switch and cranked on it lol, oh for $%#^$% sakes lol.
thanks for you help guys. it is a bummer cause we just got that 6 humming and then all went silent (except for the curses lol)
