The owner says that the throttle is NOT on the tiller handle but is
combined
into the shifter lever, the more forward you pull that handle the faster
the
motor goes. This is something I've not seen before.


that 4 hp is a sweet running motor but it does NOT have a shifter on it.
There is no shifting as it is always turning the prop. When you start it up
you have to know where you are pointed as it is always in gear. You have to
turn the motor 180° to go backwards. The throttle lever is on the side as
you can see from the pic.
