Carb primers

Postby Ou Man » Fri Oct 05, 2007 4:07 pm

Does anybody know of a reliable primer system for a 503 to prime the carbs before cold start? Opening and filling the bowls each time seams to be a sure way to wear and tear.
I believe I can fly...even touch the sky

aviation engines charges over R700 for the 503 primer.
Any cheaper ideas

MORNING ALL
I fully agree with a primer and extra electric fuel pump.
On our last aerrie to propspin 100 times on cold start was the normal.
After putting the primer back about 10 propspins :D .Still not good if
others could start in 3 spins so did i.We then put in a low presure fuel
pump and guess what.......1 prop spin on cold day :D :D :D and she
would start.
Just as we had starting sorted we sold the aerrie and now we are starting
over.
"Duckie" thanx for that starting advice please P.M me if you still have a primer left.
thanx
Johnny "woody"
So what - wood can also fly!
