It was a friends motor. He hasnt used it, so I dont know if it worked. I used a dremmel and reground the gear on a very slight back angle. It will probably wear faster because the gear is case hardened.
@@Islandmanfishing Yes, it can be. You will need a new clutch dog and forward gear. Somewhat labor intensive, especially if the engine has been used in salt water. You might just want to look for a used gearcase, but that is a "gamble" at best, so don't pay alot for it unless it has some sort of guarantee/returnable.
@@Islandmanfishing It might just be fixed with a simple cable adjustment, but doubtful. Once the gearcase starts jumping out of gear, it is usually too late....
Yes it is clutch dog slip. It was also missfiring badly due to corroded connections on both coils. I put a timing light on it and it would only slip when there was a large series of missfires. I think this was due to water pressure trying to turn the prop backwards. Also maybe too much play in the lower unit, propably needs to be shimmed in some way to tighten tolerances. Not to metntion the motor was mounted too low in the water causing a lot of drag. What do you think?
This was on a friends outboard. We took the lower unit apart, and we decided use a dremmel and reshape the clutch dog, forward and reverse gear. The gears were more expensive then he wanted to pay. I wouldnt recommend this as you will cut through the case hardening of the gears and get into soft metal. A machine shop would do better. We did properly adjust the shift rod and shift lever on the cowl when reassembling it. They were out of adjustment and did not give full throw of the clutch dog. We havent tested it yet, so dont know if our bush fix worked.
The clutch dog was slipping out of gear and then slamming back in. There was damage on the forward gear, clutch dog and reverse gear. I think the shift rod height was wrong and the shift cable may have been stretched. The motor is back together but it hasn't been tested.
I have it to but I see it was the gas ting were you can go from low rpm to max it was to loss
3 year review how did you fix and how did it turn out? Having the same issue…

Sounds like the clutch dog to me
Is that an expensive fix

I guarantee it’s the clutch dog
Is that an expensive fix
Clean power pack adjust breaker check points Usually crankshaft oil seal should be checked up
Same issue on my 81 35hp Johnson

figure it out?
The clutch dogs were slipping.
How expensive was it to fix my just started and it’s kicking really hard

Mine does the exact same thing and is an 81 Evinrude 35HP. Did you figure out the issue?
