Hi, I'm having some issues with my 1979 Johnson(70hp), starts ok but goes a bit wild, I don't understand the choke system, the key press activates the solenoid but there is also a lever next to the air box (label on air box is choke on / choke off) - what part does this play please? Also I cannot stop it once started, turning the key has no effect, i have to unplug the fuel hose! finally it's not spitting water, it has new impeller but i can only test with muffles on at the moment, does it need to be submerged? I'm a bit scared to start it again now since i can't stop it quickly and it's not pumping water, please help a novice in need!
Many Thanks
Ralph.
