quote labrador guy:
Yup that is the baby! Mine does not have that kill button. It has two metal tabs that look like they contact the housing when the go lever is moved all the way to the left. What is going on with the exhaust damper? A leaver from the carb controls, opens a metal washer on the underside of the exhaust duct. Maybe exhaust relief? Your motor has a cutout on the muffler. Mine has a bolted on cover. Were these motors racers? Plenty thick oil ratio, maybe trying to seal the crankcase? This motor is a learning experience for me. I made an offer and it followed me home!

From what I have learned its a Johnson factory item.
Don’t know if it was an option you could order or
or what determined what motors they would be
installed on. So far I haven’t found any factory
literature that shows it.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
