Hi All,

I have been trawling these forums for a short while having bought my first boat (1995 Savage Kestrel 400 with Evinrude 30hp 2stoke) and have learnt a lot.

I just a question about one part (thing with the red plastic bit on it and 4 screws on top) on the outboard that I have no idea what it is?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Its the manual valve on the electric choke.

it needs to remain in the vertical position as show when in normal use.

if you needed to start this engine by pull start, you would turn the red indicating lever 90 degrees (this engauges the choke) and once the engine is started it should be returned to the verticle position.

Also the cap is covering a tyre valve setup which you can connect a can of Engine tunner (a product available from BRP) for adminstering a liquid intot he engine which removes carbon build up.
