DT40C prop won't turn either way in reverse, normal?

Hi All,


I just got done changing the impeller on my DT40C, and after putting it all back together (which was a pain, as the large nut that connects the shift shaft ends came undone from the top thread) my situation is as follows:


I'm turning the prop by hand, don't want to risk trying it under power yet.

In forward gear, the prop "jams" when turned one way, but spins freely with some clicks the other.
In neutral, the prop spins freely in both directions.
In reverse gear, the prop "jams" in both directions.


Is this normal and correct? I've seen conflicting information as to whether the prop should spin in one direction when in reverse, or not at all like I'm seeing.


Obviously there is some adjustment in the shift shaft nut, and as it fell off, I may not have adjusted it correctly when reassembling.


Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy, yes that sounds correct, you can test it on muffs then at least it is not under load.

Brilliant, thanks mate! Just been out to run it on the muffs, and once I finally got it started, gears are working fine!

I'll start another post on the starting issues :/
