Thanks, that's how my dad's old Mercury in the 70's needed to be started. This control doesn't have the warmup lever like his did. Just happens the mechanic who will be tuning it up used to own the boat my son bought originally. Son got it from a friend's grandpa.

meauxjeaux nailed it. Seafoam works magic on 2 strokes. My yammie 150 was a new motor after a good treatment. I buy the aerosol and fog her up every month or so and have had 0 issues.

Make sure there isn't a button to push in the center of the control. On many you push the button and push the gear/throttle forward.
