Hi Matt
I have re-assembled and checked the idler gears and pins, everything there seems fine including the holes in the gearbox case where the pins locate. I have the correct washers on either side of the idler gears where the bearings insert.
When I turn the outdrives by hand the spur doesn't turn, however when I rotate the spur by hand, the outdrives do turn at the same time. If I remove the slipper/spur assembly and turn the outdrives by hand, the layshaft rotates also.
The slipper nut is tightened about 5mm in from the end, not too tight, but not loose either. There is still alot of fine adjustment available, but even when tightened more, theres still next to no drive under load, on the bench the wheels rotate as normal with minimal throttle.
