70hp 2 stroke yamaha question

[Capt Terry]

Thanks. After 5 yesrs of owning an ETEC I forgot about the fast idle lever. The ETEC has a short lever next to the throttle lever which is used when doing winterizing. Lift it, start and run engine for 15 seconds, push it down for 15 seconds, then raise it again and the engine races for about a minute then shuts down. Even after a couple months it starts within seconds.
