I basically understand the Joe Reeves method of obtaining WOT. Problem is my motor will not crank in the full throttle position as referred to in the method. Once you shift the throttle lever out of neutral to the full throttle position the starter is disengaged. Do I just disconnect the linkage from the shift cable and manually hold the throttle in the full position or what? Additionally where is the quick/fast start feature located as also mentioned in the so I can disconnect? My manual has no such listing. Any help greatly appreciated.

The 1986 model does not have the fast start feature so don't be concerned about that.

Most console controls can have full throttle applied without puting the engine into gear. Other controls = remove the control cable from the engine's linkage so that you can apply throttle (full spark advance) manually.
