The motor idles fine and revs in neutral but as soon as we put it in forward or reverse gear it cuts out. Is there some special switch that is out of adjustment??? Chuck Could be, Chuck. I dont' knwo a thing aboutt he Hondas, but Mercruiser has a momentary kill swith that when the lower end in engaged into either forward or reverse, there is a momentary "kill" that shuts the ignition down for a split second so the lower end gears can engage easier. The Honda may have the same type set up, but I really don't know. Now, if you shift it quickly from idle to forward with good throttle, does the engine still die? ------------------------------------------- Actually, I think the Mercruiser momentarily kills ignition when shifting "out" of gear into neutral. It has been a while, though, and maybe I am mistaken. Eisboch Correctamundo Eisboch. I was thinking he might have fish line wrapped around the prop, jamming it. Or the idle is set way too low. Hopefully one of the experts is still hanging around to answer the question, but it would be understandable if Harry drove them off again with his nonsense. |
