    Is it a light so you can see where you are sticking your keys? Or is it actually a button?

    On mine, it's the blanked off spot where a choke would be if it were fitted with a petrol engine.
    I thought it would be a good spot for a hand throttle.........should I need one.

    Hi All,

    In answer to the question.... I asked the exact same question on REMLR when I bought my FFR and the answer was...

    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.

    It's a hand throttle!

    When you pull it out you can give it a twist and it will lock on until untwisted.

    We used to use them as some sort of cruise control. Sometimes you could get a few more Kay's out of them, other times you were slightly slower than flat foot.

    Either way it made convoys much nicer..
