Is there is a semi-circle kind-of bar that the motor slides along similar to the yamaha 2 stroke 50 with a little knob to tighten down as well if you want to keep it straight? I'm trying to picture what you are describing to see if I am on the right track about what could possibly be the issue...
Not sure if this could be part of the issue or not, but at least worth a check....
Just a quick thought here.. if you go to the back of the motor, see where the torque tab is set. If that has somehow gotten bumped, it can make turning one direction harder than the other.
Also, many motors have two grease zerks on the mid section of the motor. where the motor pivots there as well. If you have not given them a few squirts in while, that can add to binding as well.
In most cases, a motor turns easier one way as compared to the other due to pure physics, so things like the rear torque tab help to relieve some of that undue stress when turning the opposite direction.
Just a couple thoughts...
