[FONT="]Trying to sync the linkage on my 1972 evinrude sportwin 9.5. It runs great. But there’s certainly an issue with the linkage That connects the shift lever and the upper shift rod.
The lower unit is fine and clicks into all gears by hand fine and the pivot pin is in. After more work on it the actual shift lever seems to have too much play. The linkage connected to the lever will not move with the lever the whole way. And the one adjustment bolt doesn’t actually tighten the linkage to the lever at all. Is the lever or linkage stripped and that’s why it has so much play? When I hold down the upper shift rod all the way the lever stays all the way up in reverse and there’s no play in it. But it doesn’t find forward until the lever is all the way down to the point where it hits the mounts and doesn’t find reverse. Any way to take the play out of the linkage between lever and upper rod?
