Yamaha 703 control toggle switch purpose

[jdlough]

EDIT: Nevermind. Found my answer right here on Iboats.

My question was what is that toggle switch between the key slot and the kill switch lanyard attachment on a 12 year old Yamaha 703 side console control.

Answer is that it is a choke switch. Up position is choke. Down position is run normally.

My motor WAS always a bit tricky to start, but always restarted when warm.
Makes sense now.

I edited this post's title and text to make it easier for someone else to find with the search function.

Thanks.
