[QUOTE="LarryA, post: 93923, member: 737"] I had my '76 9.9 do the same thing when it stalled in gear last summer. I ended up removing the cover and checking things out. Look at the linkage from the shifter. It should go up and be in a postion at the flywheel that prevents the shifter from moving (in a safety postition). I don't remeber exactly but I needed to use a screwdriver and hold the linkage out of the way. Then turned the flywheel a little by hand and was able to easily shift back to nuetral. Don't try pulling the rope if the shifter will not move. You'll risk breaking the rope. At that point it's in a safety postion to prevent starting the motor in gear. [/QUOTE]
