Re: new nitro

Choke should be activated by pushing in on ignition key. Fast idle will be activated by pulling the shift lever out from the housing while you push the lever forward. At least by 1990 Nitro with a Johnny 175GT is setup. I don't imagine the controls changed much in 4 years.

Make sure the owner shows you the method he uses in a cold start because most all of those old Johnson Vees can be a little cranky when cold. Most of the ones I have run like to be really rich and about 1/3 throttle to cold start. Once you find how to cold start and it warms up they all seem to fire right up when warm.

As said above make sure the owner shows you how to start it. And if you buy it, get the owners manual.

Re: new nitro

Check your other post and try to stick to one post on the same subject. It gets confusing.
