interuptor switch-gctid811236

[Guest]

what should the rpm be if I use the interuptor switch,i have rpm at about 550 right now and switch is disconnected,is this ok

[Chief_Alen]

You got it to idle good at 550 that's fantastic, however on the water you loose 200 rpm.

On the trailer 700-750 is good.

On the water fine tune till you have a good idle on a warm engine.

so does that mean I am doing the same thing the switch does by reducing the rpm,i still have a problem when I go from forward to reverse and back to neutral ,it wants to stay in reverse until I jam it to forward and back to neutral

Needs to be at or below idle of six hundred in the water,when you achieve that and your shifting leakage is adjusted correctly you will be able to get rid of the interrupter switch I did and have the same set up. 1988 5.7 lit. OMC COBRA

Put up a signature with what year,hp,make, drive of the setup you have.

Or at the beginning of each thread include the info.

Ok merc I replied to the last thread.

Bravo no need for a interrupt switch cone clutch, dog clutch you have to have one.

The SI (shift interrupt) or SA (shift assist) is designed to momentarily stumble engine RPM during a shift FROM either FWD or REV back TO Neutral.

The SI or SA is necessary due to the torque load that typically keeps the teeth engaged.

Think of it as momentarily lowering engine speed until load is reduced and the shift transition has been completed. [/color]
