TODAY i TURNED THE IGNITION KEY (BOUGHT YESTERDAY!) AND THE ENGINE STARTED.. RAN IT SLOWLY FOR A WHILE THEN TOOK IT OUT ON THE RIVER FOR HALF HOUR.. NOT ONE PROBLEM.. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A BIG THANKYOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE HELPED ME GET THIS ENGINE GOING. AND FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH MY IDIOT QUESTIONS..
ON THE OMC SINGLE LEVER CONTROLLER THERE IS A BLACK KNOB WHICH CAN BE TURNED.. I THINK ITS JUST ABOVE THE FUSE.. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ITS FOR?? AND WHAT IS THE ' KILLCORD' PART NUMBER (THE PUSH BUTTON TYPE) .. THANKS AGAIN.

The knob is for idle speed adjust, nick.

Please don't post in all capitals. It is hard to read and seems like SHOUTING.

Great Job!! There are never any questions that are idiot questions when trying desperately on getting your outboard engine to run to specs. Even the experts learn something new every day here. Good Luck!
