Guess I am used to the merc setups, so here we go! Is there any control shift set up I could replace mine with, so that I could set up a fast idle from up at the helm like I had with my outboard? Seems like it could be so handy for warm up, instead of the one on the carb with the choke. I have been thinking of an electric soloniod with a switch on the dash to bump the carb arm to get fast idle, as I have a spare quadrajet with that soloniod on it, but what is out there , have any ideas for a fast idle option other than the electric choke?
