I have the simplist primer system of all...NONE. With the aerocarb on the
corvair I just turn on the fuel - mixture rich - count to five and turn the
prop over. When the engine is cold it will sometime take a couple extra
revolutions to start - I call it "pre-oiling" which is good for the engine.
When
warm it usually start withing a blade or two. I have liked the aerocarb so
far...300 hours - no carb heat - to fuel pumps to worry about - gravity seems
to have not stopped working suddenly...easy to maintain and heavier (because
of the extra cash left in my wallet..ha -ha) Just kidding - it is very
light. Could I get better performance out of an Ellison..maybe - but Im too
busy
going places to find out - plus it will work better with the turbo.
Back to flying....
