Lever on left side of old Sea King 7hp?

[newboater74]

Does anyone know what the lever on the left side of the motor, next to the cover latch, is for? It rocks back and forth, not very far. I haven't had the motor running long enough to find out what it's for.


1970-something 7hp Wards Sea King.

You mean a lever other than the shift lever?

That sounds like the shift lever.
