Hi,

First my apologizes if this question is hard to understand!

On my single handle command center, when I push the warm start/idle lever all the way down, then put the motor into gear, pushing the throttle forward, the warm up lever is also moved down further though it has no effect motor idle. This causes a bit of a bind while the throttle arm is moving the warm lever. After that all is well. When you throttle back down and put the motor into neutral, the warm lever comes back up. Is this normal behavior or is something out of adjustment and, if so, are there printed instructions somewhere?

The warm-up lever is for a cold start. After the engine starts, push the lever all the way down to run position. Then, shift the engine to gear.

I got a service manual from eBay for my 76 85HP Johnson motor. It covers the command center.
