Kwiks thumb knuckle must have eight joints in it if he is manually priming the engine every start
Ha ha!!
I installed the engine "upside down". So the trumpet is pointing upwards. And 2 big hatches covering the upper 50% of the radial cowling.
I like access to the engine.
Normally I only need "manual priming" on the first start of the day. The next one is firing right away.
