I have a 175HP Johnson on a '96 Four Winns. I am
assuming the motor is of the same year/vintage.

This season the thing is having problems starting.
Under the cowl, there is a small red lever with a
shrader valve on it.
I have found that if I screw around with the red
lever, and crank it over, it starts, then I re-adjust
the lever back to where it was and it's all fine.
How do I set/adjust this lever, what is it's purpose?
Any thoughts?
Last year the thing would run crappy at low idle, stall
and require a few restarts before running again.

Thanks

Hello this lever is used for manual choking if electric solenoid fails. the run position is turned clockwise until seated and lever will be in line with clyinder. when valve is open and engine is cranked fuel will flow through small hoses for starting. any questions call 631-514-1525 thanks Ralph
