Put your finger over the carb and crank the engine to prime it.

Why do you not want to put your finger on the exhaust? It is not going to do any harm to your finger. When the fuel enters the carb, remove your finger. I suggest not to use a primer.

That will not work. At idle setting the carb is nearly closed; prime it by covering the exhaust stinger and turning the engine over, either by starterbox, Roto-Start or a pullstart.

If you have a pull-start another simple way is to get an automotive or medical (good luck with the latter) syringe.

Just pull your pressure tube from the muffler and push air in with the syringe till the fuel meets the carb.

Reinsert the pressure tube. Now you have a lot less pulling to do to get the engine primed.

Remember, you still have to get the crank filled with fuel if you haven't run in a while.

I want my engine to start without cranking it. Suggestions?

Sometimes, you just need to keep it simple: Put your finger over the exhaust stinger! Otherwise, you'll be in here complaining about how out of tune your car is...and it might be a leaky primer bulb, etc.

The exhaust pressurizes the fuel tank. A thing of simple beauty for simple machines.
