(side-mount type)
Leave the fast idle lever in the
START position to provide a rich
fuel mixture for starting a cold
engine. The fast idle lever is used to set idle
speed during warm-up.
The lever will not move unless the
gearshift/throttle control lever is in
the N (neutral) position. Conversely,
the gearshift/throttle control lever
will not move unless the fast idle
lever is in the lowest position.
Lift the fast idle lever to warm up a
cold engine after starting and to start
a warm engine.
The control lever automatically locks
itself in the N (neutral) position. To
move the lever out of the N (neutral)
position, you must squeeze the
neutral release lever on the underside
of the lever handle.
