Just push the throttle lever forward.
Bruce, it has a detent at low idle, you have to give the lever a shove past that detent to reach shut-off
Thanks guys as you can tell I’m just starting

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
if its like the 6/7u models there is also a detent for full throttle if you go past that you get full fuel for starting. i didnt know about that until someone showed me, it started much easier after that.
that's interesting, a full throttle detent for starting a diesel?? for at least a couple reasons, maybe more....
1) in my experience, i've never found full throttle to be better starting a cold diesel engine or gasoline..
2) i don't like shrapnel flying about and picking up pieces and putting them in a bucket etc...
