![]() ![]() They are common and are used for the engine throttle cables ect. You will have to order a shell connector. (just the clam shell which screws onto the cable) Don't worry, you haven't ruined the cable. If this cable is old.it may be brittle and break. ![]() It should now stay put all the way up.Pry the connector off the ball. Now you can attempt the adjustment.Pry on the assembly again and with a friend to help lift the engine to max up position and then release the assembly. (Don't allow it to drop much as it will impede your view and access to the upper shell connector which you will have to remove.) If this works, you have a good cylinder that isn't frozen. Insert it just above the threads and you will see the assembly tilt slightly upward causing the pressure (if tilted enough) to release and allow the engine to begin to drop. Use a flat bladed screwdriver fairly thin. pry upward on the top edge of the reservoir. Being careful not to put your hand or hands anywhere they might get pinched from sudden dropping of engine. You will now see where the cable actually hooks into the Stainless steel reservoir. By remove I mean unscrew it and lift it up the cable out of the way. Fairly easy fix, rather awkward to explain.To test the gas assisted "non-repairable" (approx $400) cylinder, remove the black plastic nut at the bottom of the cable. (I think) do you get any downward movement at all? (assuming it is in the up position)If unit appears frozen and cable "wiggles" some as you rotate lever. With your lever in the down position or tilt. then it snaps on or off depending on which way you go.Question. You will have to use enough pressure til the point you fear it might break. I usually just press in on with much painful pressure from an index finger. This is the side that I snap on over the ball. It has one side that is flatter than the other. ![]() The connector you speak of is called for some reason a "shell connector". Re: Evinrude 50 HP manual tilt doesn't work ![]()
