Could somebody be so kind as to explain what a couple of these levers and do dads and whatnot are for on this 95 Johnson 4hp deluxe 2 stroke outboard I just bought? :redface:

I'm new to boating and this motor came with my 12' sea nymph, but I dont want to learn whats what the hard way and break something. :D


I get that there is a choke, and then an idle control, but whats the little tab with a picture of a boat on it right by the "read owners manual" picture below the idle and choke? It does not offer much resistence when I turn it(I have not tried it with the motor running yet).
I'm also curious about the twist piece on the end of the tiller handle, it didnt seem to do much while the motor was running.

It runs perfectly by the way, starts on the first pull every time.

I've looked and looked online for about two weeks now, but all I find is shop manuals for sale(which I will get eventually), but for now I just want to know what those components are.

Thanks!!

try here:
outboardbooks.com

They have an owners manual for $28, which is exactly what you need.

I actually figured it all out today just messing around with everything actually mounted on the transom. It made a little more sense when everything was secure enough for me to fiddle with.



Kiss my butt shop manual. ;)
