A mouse chewed on one of the plug wires since I last ran it. Not all the way through, just a little insulation. Motor sat for years before a buddy of mine got it and then sold it to me. He ran it when I bought it form him, I ran with some fresh gas before I removed it from the boat and hung it on the fence. Engine would start and run fine, the shifter didn't want to shift into gear. Could be a cable, could be the shifter, could need a little grease somewhere. The neutral throttle lever worked fined and you could rev the engine while running in neutral. What's your friends name? I've got a guy from Richmond Hill coming by today to do a compression check.
