1981 cb750k first bike ever.

dimitrivouts
this is my first bike. never worked on bikes never owned a bike previously. I have no one to explain certain things to me. I have some stupid questions I would need help with.
first question is on the right hand engine stop switch. there are some small letters under "w""p"and a dot. any explanations?

second, when I start the bike from cold. it's very very boggy. even with choke open full the idle will bog until it stalls. what should I be careful about when this happens. what could be the cause? it will start but I need to give it throttle until it stabalizes.

thanks in advance.

I do not have any idea of what the letters and dot are on your controls are, but you can download the Honda factory service manual for free from the manuals section on the home page here. The manual might have an explanation for you. As for the idling, these bikes are cold blooded, but not that cold blooded. Your pilot jets are most likely plugged up. There is a thread on here in the repair tips and tricks on cleaning and rebuilding the CV carbs that your bike has.
