Reverse gear adjustment
Greetings all!
I have just finished a rebuild of my 1977 vintage A4 and it runs nice and smooth. Only have about 30 minutes run time on the rebuild so still getting a fair amount of smoke from the exhaust. Expect that to diminish as the rings seat. My problem is that I don't seem to be able to get reverse out of the "trans". I have adjusted the nut clockwise until there doesn't seem to be much adjustment left, and still get nothing from reverse. Forward works like a champ, plenty of power there, no slippage. Is there something I could have assembled incorrectly in my re-assembly of the reversing gear ??? Photos of a correctly assembled reversing gear would be helpful (and/or) detailed drawings of the parts. Anything you can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bob |

I had to replace my reversing gear once (the keyway in the old one was all
messed up from a few sudden stoppages due to tangled lines in the propeller) and after installing the new one I couldn't get the band tightened down enough. Turns out one of the "ears" had hung up on something and I think I was able to clear it with just some jostling which then allowed the adjusting nut to be tightened to a reasonable position. Hope this helps. -jonathan |
