[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 267193, member: 8490"] I've got the same motor, I've had the same trouble occasionally. With the cowl off, between the shift lever and the flywheel there's a piece that engages and prevents you from shifting when the throttle is above fast idle, I'd make sure that was lubed good and not catching. If that doesn't solve it the issue must be down below, possibly the shift rod catching or even a piece of something in the lower unit gearcase [/QUOTE]
