ENGINE TILT RELEASE KNOB JOHNSON EVINRUDE 8 HP

[maineiac5586]

I HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE A 1984 EVINRUDE 8 HP. THE TILT KNOB WAS MISSING WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I FOUND ANOTHER KNOB AND IT HAS A SHAFT CONNECTED TO IT WITH A FLAT SPOT ON THE SHAFT. I STUCK IT IN THE HOLE ON THE TRANSOM BRACKET BUT NOT SURE WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT THE OTHER END OF THE SHAFT TO MAKE THE MOTOR RELEASE AND TILT UP? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO TO MAKE THIS RELEASE KNOB WORK AND RELEASE THE HOOK FROM THE TILT ADJUSTING ROD? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS
