Claim 9:
10. A method of controlling starting of an engine of or powered moving a powered device, comprising:
providing at least one indicator associated with a threshold condition, the indicator having a first state when the threshold condition is not satisfied and a second state when the threshold condition is satisfied;
determining the state of the indicator at a controller coupled to the engine to control at least one parameter of engine operation;
communicating the state of the indicator to an electronics device having a display;
visually depicting the state of the indicator on the display with an icon having a first state when the indicator is in the first state and a second state when the indicator is in the second state;
changing the state of the icon when the state of the switch changes as communicated from the controller to the electronics device; and
presenting a start input that initiates an engine starting attempt when the threshold condition is satisfied, where the start input is provided on a portion of the display that is responsive to touch so that touching said portion of the display initiates an engine starting event, wherein the at least one indicator includes a first indicator that is associated with a first throttle lever of the two throttle levers, and the first indicator is in the first state when the first throttle lever is in the first position and the first indicator is in the second state when the first throttle lever is in the second position, and the at least one indicator includes a second indicator that is associated with a second throttle lever, and the second indicator is in the first state when the second throttle lever is in the first position and the second indicator is in the second state when the second throttle lever is in the second position.
