Hi there,
I am having trouble with the Engine starting on My 1989 Ski Nautique as the shift linkage to lever has some play. I was told to adjust the linkage at the transmision shift lever.
How is this done?
Regards,
Matthew

Matt,
You may also want to check the Morse control. The pins that hold the cable to the control are made of brass and can wear causing the linkage to become loose.

What is it not doing?
You can adjust the pivots on either end of the shifter cable. You loosen the little jam nut and spin the pivot. A little goes a long way. They do wear out, as Randy mentioned, or worse, shear off after a long time. Had it happen at the boat ramp once.

These are the brass pivots that wear. I have just replaced mine this last week. http://skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=R024024 - here

Matthew,
I think we've got the idea but be careful with your wording. "starting" to most will mean that the engine isn't firing up. Not "cranking/turning over" would indicate the starter isn't getting power to rotate the engine. I recommend doing some testing with a multimeter if you have one. If not, they are about $25 and well worth it.
From your description of having to play with the helm, it does sound like it's NSS (neutral safety switch) related. It could be cables, pivots, adjustment or even a bad NSS. The multimeter will confirm contact closure of the NSS at the proper neutral shift lever position.
