Awesome info. Bassman.

Yep I called my local marina mechanic and he also verified that you
"push the key" to choke the beast. I never even knew that and I doubt
the old owner knew that as well since he never told me about that.

I'll give a full report on the my next outing this weekend and will try
pushing the key tonight (and listening for the solinoid to click) just
to test and watching the the choke as you suggested. I could be out of
the woods on this but won't know for sure until I can get it back in
the water (this weekend; perhaps sooner).

Thank you,

Basskisser, I'll keep ya posted.


You're welcome!
