1971 larson boat. 1976 chrysler outboard engine. starting problems

[dom_litty09]

i just bought a 1971 larson boat, it has a 1976 chrysler 125hp engine. i dont know much about this boat. when i bought it the owner started it for me. but i cant get it to start. i just found the choke button which might help me, but i cant find the cold start lever to give it high throttle.. where is it? or how do i give it some throttle with out putting it in gear? also what is the oil to gas ratio? i think its 50:1 but i just wanna make sure.. thanks!

Just behind the forward control lever there is a knob you pull to disengage the gears and you can throttle up a bit for a cold start.
