After many years of trouble-free operation (I did all the maintenance) it developed shifting problems. It is a tiller-handle shift. I thought it was in the gear case so I removed the lower unit and found it was OK. Finally replaced the plastic shift/throttle pulley and plastic shift gear (it's hardly a gear...but they call it that) and the problem is history. I cleaned the grease off the old parts and they look fine....no cracks or apparent wear. I'm left wondering what's going on. Has anybody seen this? Looking forward to another good season!
