I recently freed up a frozen shift cable on my newly aquired A-4. When I disconected the cable from the shift lever at the engine I noticed that the cable was adjusted so that the engine lever could not go all the way forward when shifted from the cockpit.
While shifting the engine lever manually with the engine not running, I could feel it click into place when pushing it all the way forward. Is that the forward gear position? Should the cable be adjusted so that when I shift from the cockpit it clicks the engine lever into the all the way forward position?
This is in a 1974 Catalina 27 that has been out of the water for 2 or 3 seasons.
