OTOH, I really get a kick out of people who apply the starter to the spinner and crank the thing for what seems like minutes. I always wonder how much engine life has been ground away because nobody ever taught them to prime the engine before applying the starter.
Yep - time without fuel is time without oil. Grind, grind, grind[:@]
