Hi All,
I have some newbie questions for you - sorry...
In the below picture - what does the push/pull switch on the right-hand-side steering column do? (If it was a petrol engine I would say that it's a choke...)
To the right of this switch, are 3 electrical switches.. Well - there are 2 there, and one is missing.
What is/was the missing switch for?
I haven't located an operating manual for the Perentie - otherwise I would have read it and worked this stuff out for myself..
My Perentie was dropped off home today from the local mechanic, who gave it a RWC... So I'll soon have it on historic plates!!! 8) ;D
Cheers,
GG

The choke cable is a throttle position lock. To operate, press the accelerator until you reach the revs you want, then pull the cable out and turn to lock.
The missing switch is in fact a missing blanking plate, so no big deal there.
