Re: Honda 2 speed gearbox
could it be one of the springs not applying enough pressure to hold it in place
Re: Honda 2 speed gearbox
Thanks Ian. I reduced the tension on a spring at the top of the cable and it seems to stay in 2nd a bit better now.

So I was wrong and it was a spring applying to much tension not one applying to little :)
Re: Honda 2 speed gearbox
No no Ian. It's not fixed properly yet so you could still be on the money. :)
I've got a feeling that the plunger thing that puts the gearbox into 2nd should have some sort of detent that holds it in, but I'm not going to worry too much anymore. At best it would be my 3rd in line spare push mower :)

Re: Honda 2 speed gearbox
Thanks again Ian.
Doesn't look like anything down there is amiss. Might just make a hook or something on the lever on the handlebar to keep it in 2nd gear position.
Re: Honda 2 speed gearbox
might be a stretched cable
Re: Honda 2 speed gearbox
I don't think so Paul. I've had to loosen the cable right off to let the lever move past halfway towards the 2 position. Maybe someone put the wrong cable on 20 years ago .;)

Re: Honda 2 speed gearbox
Mystery solved. There is a spring between the cable & shift lever that was on backwards. That was stopping the lever from going over-centre and locking in position.
All good now. :)
