I have a 1989 Tracker pro V 16 with a 60 HP Johnson. I haven't had it very long and I bought it from a guy who bought it at an estate sale. It didn't have an owners manual either. It is not my first boat though. I did purchase a Seloc Johnson Evenrude service manual which helped me understand how my motor operates. The button you are talking about works like a choke to enrich the fuel mixture in the intake manifold. If your motor cools down while you are stopped you may have to push this button to get a quicker start. You may also need to squeeze the fuel bulb a few times to help the fuel pump pickup fuel. Just some tricks I have picked up through the years. Lots of luck finding a owners manual. You can try Bass Pro Shops Tracker Boat Store you might luck out they may have one.

Agreed with the above. You really only need to push the key for cold starts. By pushing the key you activate the choke. Once it’s warmed up pushing the key will only flood the motor. Try just starting with out the choke and if it won’t fire then push the key. Enjoy

Lifting your throttle a little can help as well
