This is how I start my dads Old 70hp Evinvude:

Prime the fuel bulb.
Move the warm up lever about halfway up.
Then start by pushing the key in to choke.
When the engine fire ups stop pushing the choke.
When the engine starts to revs up pull back the warm up lever.

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.
