Hello everyone, first time user of the forum. I have a 1993 70 hp johnson 2 stroke that is hard to start cold. I have read the cold start procedure thread posted but I do not find any fast idle adjustment. There is no lever and I do not see any way to pull out the handle for neutral lock. are these standard on controls ? or do you think someone has removed it ? I have only had the boat a couple of months. Starts up easy after I finally do get it started the first time. Cant find the idle lever though. Can anyone help ?? Thanks

Thanks Boss, you were the only reply. It seems this control has a push button to disengage gears and allow you to move lever forward for cold starts.Tries it this weekend and started right up . I have never had a control like this so I was lost. Finally found the answer in the original boat manual. thanks
