I started the motor and it was in forward gear. The throttle handle was in the neutral position, so I pulled it toward reverse position(to find neutral) and it started to go faster forward! Then it reved and grind, trying to go in reverse. I've unhooked the throttle and shift cables and trying to manually switch gears. it worked a couple times and then never again, weird. I can see where its making contact with the throttle. I hope the pic helps, its dark in there! I haven't done anything to the motor at all to make this happen. Is it just out of wack? It ran fine last season. Thanks for any help or direction.
