Shift interupter question

[2kvert]

I've had the lower unit and engine out of my 4.3 Mercruiser Alpha One several times in the last few weeks I'm having trouble with it stalling on the mouse when I go into reverse reading the sticky post it says I probably have something binding in the lower unit can anyone tell me what I need to look for in this. is something I can adjust it am I going to need to replace something?

go to the stickies and read on adjusting the lower shift cable.

Remove the shift cable from the throttle plate. Have someone spin prop, counter clockwise, and pull the cable end. This is the reverse shift, it should slide into gear smoothly, no binding. If it is sticky, you need to take drive back off and find out why.
If it works normal, adjust the reverse shift microswich or cables as needed

I’ll look at that, but I’m not familiar with the reverse microswitch I only have the interrupter to my knowledge

Those interrupt linkage wear out. Did it work correctly before pulling motor/drive? My gut tells me that you may have inadvertently spun the barrels too many times or bolted the interrupt so it is in a bind. If the interrupt switch freely bounces up and down while going into fwd or rev, then look elsewhere. My guess that it bounces and stays up or down (full interrupt mode). If my memory serves me correctly, complete fwd and complete rev only have a 45 degree ark on the OD. You will need a buddy operating helm shifter controls to make sure neutral, fwd and reverse (in prop). If OK then go back to interrupt.
