proper front output gear backlash adjustment:
S AscompletedinStep6,makesurethe
snorkel gear and output bevel gear are lightly
seated or meshing, so there is zero lash. Do
not overtighten.
S Before turning the snorkel tube, look down
into the gearcase at the snorkel lock screw
hole opening (Photo 2). Now slowly rotatethe
snorkel tube counterclockwise (Photo 3),
while counting the number of notches as you
rotate the snorkel tube. Rotate the snorkel
tube to the 7th notch (Photo 1 & 2) using a
2 3/8” wrench.
S Now check the output shaft gear backlash
again by feel. If the output shaft appears to
be to tight, rotate the snorkel shaft
counterclockwise to the next notch or 8th
notch.
