It should advance the throttle in neutral, at least enough to crack open the throttle plate somewhat. If the throttle plate is at dead idle and you try to start it, that might be why it just pops. I am pretty sure those had a neutral RPM limit adjustment. Maybe that’s over-adjusted…..I should get off my butt and go look at the manual…
Long live American manufacturing!
