My 40 hp Johnson outboard would not re-start today after shutting down. Cleaned the plugs, checked for spark............no go. In despiration, I moved th red lever on the solenoid forward and pushed the start button - and she started on the first try. Battery was good at the time. Can anyone offer advice?

The only thing the red lever does is switch the priming system from automatic to manual. Check your manual for proper operation.
