I have a 1956 Johnson 10 hp I took apart to check the water impeller.

After I got it back together my gears were all screwed up.

When I pull the starter rope:

The handle pulled forward to me--the prop is in neutral.
In the middle position--its in reverse
Full back from me---its is reverse too.

What did I do wrong?

thanks so much for any help!
 
If all you did was drop the lower to change impeller then ensure that your bottom shift rod is fully seated in the shift rod link. Sometimes it will appear to be fit, but is trapped lower than it should be.
Easily checked by removing the small access cover plate.
