I have a 1997 379TE with 150 Johnson Fast Strike on it. I have the style kill switch that slides up around the key, but when it does its like its choking the motor. I usually idle at ~600RPM without the kill switch on, but when I have it put in, and then take it off, it wants to idle at around 1100-1300 RPM, like it would when it was choked to start it.

I have the push key in to choke, which is what the kill switch does.

This isnt normal is it? Is there anything I can do?
