Default RE: choke vs throttle position
The carb primes faster with the throttle closed.
This seems to be true for the BME 100.
It has the hole in the choke plate so it is hard to generate low pressure in the crank
I rock the prop back and forth to cause the pump to do it's job.

Does the fuel line/carb prime faster with the throttle at a high setting, like full, when the choke is on?

Or is it better to leave at a low throttle, like 1/4, setting with choke on to prime the system?
