This is my tiller shift as it was when I got it. I cleaned it but it does not work. The through bolt and cap nut is probably wrong. There is a rectangular rod about an inch inside from the bolt and nut that does not move. Seems to me I’m missing a part. Motor ran last year in forward. Any help would be appreciated.

Yours is from an earlier motor.
A 22 would look like tiller pictured here.

There should just be a straight pin going through there
not a bolt. Your bolt would have be loose so it can move.
If that doesn’t work it could be welded so it can’t move.
Have you had it apart?These are all the parts for yours except for these two screws. (Red Arrow)
A 1922 gear case should look like this.
If yours looks like the 1920 one yours is earlier.

We (me anyway) would like to see pictures of the
issues with your reversing mechanism rather than
speculate what you may have there. Someone here
should be able to make some sense of it.I would suspect and be looking for a failure in
one of the insulator’s going to the spark plug
wire, starting here (arrow), with the insulation
on this wire looking for a place where the spark
could be jumping to the mag plate.

I found a short in the spark plug wire connecter under the mag plate. Here are two pix of the tiller. You see the rivet that prevents the inner arm from moving and where it’s broke in the tube.

That rivet holds a collar to guide the shaft
and should be there. Not everyone was a
fan of this reversing mechanism and there
was a verity of ways to lock them in the
forward position. That was the purpose
of the 2 brass screws in the unit I posted
earlier however welding is more common.
Has someone welded your shaft to the
collar to accomplish this and that’s what
making you think it has been broken?

I don’t see any welds. The shift rod inside is definately shearded off and will not move. At this point I would like to run her in the test tank since it will be in the 60’s all week here. I can live with forward only for now. If parts are available I’ll finish the resto later. What is the spark plug gap? Thanks Tubs.
