how many different spots does this switch lock into > mine works in reverse and forward. but only seems to lock in when the switch is in the middle ? should it lock in again farther forward then the middle setting ? i may just have to mess with it more.. when i bought it it had engine problems .. just got it going again and im in the process of figuring it out.. maybe im not going all the way into foward or reverse since its not locking in ..

 

i'd say your lever is focked.. because it should lock forward and back... not just in one spot

 

does the lever push forward past the point where it locks into forward normally?

 

ok after really pushing back hard it does lock into two positions i geuss.. sorry bout that .. wasent pushing back hard enough.. is that all the locking positions then ? just the two ?

 

yes that's it..

 

Yeah, it should lock into the forward and reverse positions, that's it. If you're having trouble with it, that could be what is giving you the trouble you described in your other post. I had the same thing happen before, only it would slip out of the higher gears when i put a heavy load on them. Turned out that the reverse linkage needed adjusted because it was just barely engaging in the forward position, and would slip out if enough power went through the gears.
