Hi again. I'm excited to say that with your help I've finally got this Motor up and running and it was going great! After about an hour of motoring around, I went to WOT for about 20 seconds until suddenly it seemed to slip out of gear and the RPMs shot up drastically as the boat slowed. Naturally I cut the throttle down immediately and as it throttled down it seemed to catch again and I was off. After that, it may have been my imagination, but it seemed as though when I throttled it up that it didn't quite have the muscle that it had before, as if it were no quite grabbing. I don't know if this makes much sense but I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas of what may have happened. I'm hoping that maybe its just a matter of adjusting the shift lever but I'm not familiar with how to do that properly. Since I've been posting so much about it, I included a pic of the motor on my boat with the side cowlings removed. Thanks again!
