Status: offline 		Can anyone suggest the best way to prime a fully cowled engine. The engine is an ASP 91 and it is side mounted, the fuel tank is mounted within the fuselage on the same center line as the carb there is no access to place your finger over the carb and turn the prop at the same time.
Many thanks in advance

Status: offline 		What HavinFun said......with the carb fully open. If you use an electric starter....it is said you don't have to prime the engine. The high rate of turn over by the starter sucks the fuel into the carb anyways.

Hope this helps.
