Re: 70 hp force warm up fast idle

There are several variations on engaging the Neutral Fast Idle. The throttle handle will either pull out (towards the center of the boat) about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch, or some have a button located at the pivot point of the handle that you have to push. Either way the handle should pop out to engage the Neutral Fast Idle. This disengages the cable that is connected to the gear case to put it into FWD, NEUT, REV. Once the throttle is in this position, you can push the throttle forward to increase the idle speed without engaging the gear case. As a safety feature, it will only allow you to increase the RPM's to about 3000 RPMs max.
