This motor is absolutely killing me..everyday I'm out there working on it and everyday it pushes me to my limits..I've read countless forum posts and posted plenty too and asked for advise with always meaningful help that fixes problems but leads me to the next..now everything is working except for the gears..it says selectric on the control box cover that I got with the motor but I've been told its hydroelectric..I can only find 1 number on the motor A0040895 and can't find any others..when I search this number nothing comes up so finding exactly what it is to know exactly what gear selector setup is on it is proving to b a challenge..how can I locate the model??the setup for the gear selector I got off these forums as the original buttons where broken so I fitted an aftermarket headlamp switch off an old model car..when u toggle through the gears with the ignition on u can hear it clicking..if u leave it in fwd and turn ignition on there's no click which leads me to believe its right as they start in fwd..so when I select N and turn ignition on it clicks and when u select the through the gears with ignition on u hear it click very clear..but prop still spins..motor idles and is fine through all rev ranges but no gear select..I've changed oil twice and ran motor for 5min to maybe loosen up things but no good so far.the motor sat for a few years before I got it but started and ran str8 away(after doing the coil).I'm using ATF as cant find oil here without having to order it..what can I do to fix this I'm losing my mind..I read on here that one bloke flushed it with pre mix fuel and it unblocked the lower unit..can this b done or is there anything else I can do..
