never had this problem before, pops right out of neutral.

1985 200es is not starting while searching for spark somewhere I noticed the wires next to the range selector knob were cut so I need to get some connectors back on that. would that be why it wont stay in neutral.

if I hold the shifter down and push it stays in neutral but pops out as soon as I take pressure off the shifter.

It's probably all the way down. If not, then it's probably 1/2 up from 1st.

would there be any problem that would make it hard to find neutral or stay in neutral. other than heat and mosquito's biting you to make it really aggravating.

drinking a beer now, that solves problems sometimes.

You could also try playing with the clutch adjustment too.

if its a 200 neutral would be all the way up unless it a 200x.

yup my 200es is all the way up for neutral. Then down to shift up, lol. Why would honda do this, it really messes with me when i ride my YT175 then switch to the 200ES, lol....

^ Personally, I prefer the neutral up and the down to shift pattern. Ha I guess Im just used to my 82' BR
