While poring through a gazillion queries on the old posts, I've seen reference to the Quick Start feature on OMCs and the fast idle button. On my OMC control there's a button I push to advance the throttle without it shifting, is this the fast idle button? Could a problem with either of these be causing the motor to run up to 3000 when it starts?<br /><br />How does Quick Start work? What are the procedures to test it? I don't see anything referring to Quick Start in my OMC manual. Just got the Clymer manual, but it's not in that index, either.<br /><br />When I hose tested my 115 Rude after replacing the water pump, she just about ran off before I got her shut off. I had to do some significant banging to get the foot off, but it finally came out. The pump replacement was fine, re-installation went fine. But now every time I start it up she begins to run way up, and I kill it at about 2000. Haven't had a chance to put it in the water yet (work happens). <br /><br />See my post "Evinrude 115 SPL over rev bad..." posted 4/13/03<br /><br />Thanks everyone for the wealth of info here
