Hi and thanks for the info. It looks like a simple ignition lead
switch isn't possible, or rather its risky and drilling holes is more
than I bargained for, so will stick with it as it is. Glad to see that
there was a difference of opinion about the idle water flow, I have
had over ten seagulls in the past and none have ever pushed water when
idling.

Will try to adjust the throttle cable to get it to cut out, although
one again always thought that they didn't cut out completely just went
as far as slow idle but will twiddle a bit and see what happens
