Hello,
I have searched high and low for an owners manual for my 1998 Johnson Seahorse 4HP Model #J4BRECJ, but cannot find one (it is a pull start). I am having trouble sorting out the controls on the engine and getting the engine to start and run correctly. I do believe that the problem is me not understanding the controls correctly. Here is what the controls are.
- Twist throttle on handle, which I know controls the gas
- Knob that can turn to a gas pump/tank icon and to a gas pump/tank icon that is crossed out (not sure if this is the control for the gas shutoff or the choke)
- There is a choke symbol below this knob to the left, but you cannot turn the knob to it.
My main issue is that I cannot get the engine to run, mainly because I cannot figure out how to choke it and if that knob is controlling that or if it is controlling the flow of gas. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you and God bless,
Matthew
