    1972 Evinrude 9225m - speed control lever issue

    Not at all!! As I stated at the outset, I know nothing!! So all the knowledge I can gain from here is greatly appreciated. Honestly, it seems the impeller is an inexpensive part to replace, so might as well get it done. Is there anything else you recommend?

    1972 Evinrude 9225m - speed control lever issue

    Oh I see, it's unrelated to the shifter turning issue, but just something that I need to do as good practice on an old outboard motor. Do I have that right? Thank you so much, I will be putting that on my priority project list right now!

Just to be safe, you are referring to the knob in the picture below right?I will give this a shot on the weekend when I am back up there and report back. Thanks!!!

    1972 Evinrude 9225m - speed control lever issue

    Thanks for your reply, I have read that site back and front, I just don't have the knowledge to have been able to put those things together, so I appreciate it. However I just want to confirm, should I be able to turn the handle to the right of "start" or is it a cluster and it should stop...
