Fast Idle Lever/Fast Idle Button

Fast Idle Lever (R1 type)/Fast Idle
Button (R2, R3 types)
The fast idle lever/fast idle button is
only needed for starting carbureted
outboard model. The BFT150D
model uses programmed fuel
injection so, this lever will not be
needed for starting.
After the engine starts and if the
outside temperature is below 5°C
(41°F), the fast idle lever/fast idle
button can be used to accelerate
engine warm up.
