Yeah, you wouldn't want it to peel.

Took me a bit to figure out TFF's idea, then had a "well, duh" moment; good idea. I will try it on my OS 26 FS, which I can't prime by the usual finger over the exhaust for some reason. It doesn't draw well enough. It's my only four stroke that I can't easily prime. I actually put the choke flap back on the venturi and made a wire extension so I could grab it, but it's awkward to pull the wire and flip the prop at the same time.
