Omg! Perfect!! This is perfect. Thanks so much. Now I just have to figure out where the compression release is 😬😳😉 I’ll figure it out. We flushed it with fresh water followed by RV pink anti freeze Flushing it is a great suggestion Chris

When starting we set the throttle to about 1/4 to 1/3 then start cranking. Sometimes I'll engage the compression release to get the engine spinning a little faster (about 10 secs) then release it. Another thing we do is flush the engine with fresh water before putting the boat to bed. Hope this helps. Doug Mountjoy Sv Rebecca Leah LF39Port Orchard YC.

The previous owner also disconnected the kill switch and turned off the engine with the key so i want to reattach the cable this spring. Is there a specific amount of throttle to set it at prior to turning it over? I think I remember by old Volvo-Penta had to be positioned at 3/4 open and then immediately dropped down to idle once the engine turned over. anything special I need to know? No real information out there and the old service manuals are pretty much impossible to locate at this point.
