2 Stroke Engine Priming
 

Can anyone suggest the best way to prime a fully cowled engine. The engine is an ASP 91 and it is side mounted, the fuel tank is mounted within the fuselage on the same center line as the carb there is no access to place your finger over the carb and turn the prop at the same time.
Many thanks in advance

Put your finger over the exhaust outlet & rotate prop, works the same,:D

What HavinFun said......with the carb fully open. If you use an electric starter....it is said you don't have to prime the engine. The high rate of turn over by the starter sucks the fuel into the carb anyways.

Hope this helps.

Like said before the starter will do the job. Just do it with the glow ign. off.

Ditto on the exhaust, priming it will result in less turns with the electric starter :)
