OK, what did I do wrong now ? Changed water pump but NO NEUTRAL.

Any test I can do before taking it all apart again ??? If I disengage throttle cable and push shifter assembly in should prop spin freely ? While cable is connected it does not. Pretty sure it is something stupid.

I think(I know I did) I unknowingly twisted shift shaft.

did the same thing myself once. shaft must be in the same position as the shifter when reasembling.
disassemble, turn shaft to neutral, place shifter in neutral and reassemble. check before tightening.
