A buddy gave me a merc motor and I hooked up a battery and fuel line and started it in the driveway, then I put it on my boat and launched it, the problem is when I push the button on the throttle? lever it ran backwards. we took it out of the water and turned the prop backwards but when we fiered it up it still went in reverse! so I hooked the battery backwards and then it ran in forward, I don't know much about these motros but shouldn't it go forewards with the prop on right? also when I turn the key all it does is light up a red light.It's a Merc 78 not a thunderbolt.
