Throttle ?

The little button in the middle of the throttle lever, how does it work? I cant find it in my manual. Are you just supposed to press it and then start your motor and be able to throttle with out the prop spinning?

Yep, that is why it is called the 'throttle only' button......​

Re: Throttle ?

That doesn't really help me out. Do you need to hold the button while moving the throttle into forward posistion? What exactly does it do? I assume it disengauges something?? Thanks

Re: Throttle ?

Yes, if you push it in & push the throttle in forward it will allow you to pump the gas without being in gear , just like 'Park' on a car.....​

So after you push it in and get the throttle in forward position, do you need to continue to hold the button? Thanks.

Step 1: Push the button.
Step 2: Move (or pump) the throttle lever as desired and release the button.
Step 3: Leave the lever about 1/3 forward. (fast idle position)
Step 4: Start the engine.
Step 5: When engine is warmed up, return the lever to neutral. The button will pop back out and gearshift will now be re-engaged.
Step 6: Go forward or backward as desired.

Can't make it any clearer than that.
