I have a 4 stroke 2004 115HP Johnson and the engine no longer will tilt all the way up so I can engage the tilt lock lever. I do not know when it stopped working but it used to work fine. Just noticed it the other day. It stops about 1/2" shy of engaging the lever.

I tilted it up as far as it would go and verified there was plenty of fluid (it started to leak out when I loosened the fill cap so I assumed it was full). Any idea what it could be? Is the tilt sensor subject to moving? I have not fooled with it.

Thanks!
