The 854 is not going into neutral only goes into 2nd or 3rd, any ideas? Thanks much!

Sounds like the shifter forks got misaligned.

Pull the shifter out and you will see the forks. When in neutral the hole will be a rectangle. You can move the forks with a large screwdriver.

 

This commonly occurs from quick shifting between the gears and or a loose dog point set screw, and or a worn shifter. Sometimes the "doughnut" ring on the shifter comes loose if the little pin gets broken. Pull the shifter and inspect everything.

Glad you got her going.

Sometimes the dogpoint screw tip gets a little worn down and the shifter will feel slightly sloppy. That can allow that misalignment of the forks to happen more frequently, especially when quickly shifting between gears. Just keep an eye on it and tighten up that screw once in a while.
