i have been slowly trying to get an older evinrude 9.9 running that i bought off of craigslist. i have solved the running issue (sort of) but now have discovered that the outboard has no neutral? forward and reverse works but when i put the shift lever in neutral the prop stays moving in whatever gear it was last in. i thought that maybe it was just the exhaust spinning the propeller but my finger can tell you otherwise! ouch! lol... anyone ever encountered this problem? have any ideas on where i should start? also the throttle is all screwed up... the teeth/gears dont stay together and is really hard to throttle up and down. do i have to buy a new tiller handle or is there some sort of a home remedy that can fix this issue?
here is a video of the motor at idle and a few pictures...
