Looking for engine primer - Kohler, or Essex 'push-pull' type for use on carbureted O-360.
Thanks!

Why not use the electric setup that Van’s sells? I love it. I put a push button on my panel; master on, boost on, push button for 1..2..3. start engine. Perfect.
Just a thought

I've started many times in the cold in my RV-6 and never have used the primer. Two shots of the throttle while the engine is cranking does the trick every time. If I were doing it over I wouldn't put a primer system in.

I have that set up, except that I used a momentary toggle switch for
triggering the primer valve. I installed a T fitting downline from the
boost pump that's located on the firewall. Yeah, I chose to not install the
pump inside the cabin. One exit from the T goes to the primer valve. The
other goes to the mechanical pump. I' ve been using that setup since 1999,
installed it on a friend's RV-9A, and plan on doing the same thing for my
RV-7A, if I ever get that far.

I don’t know about yours or all carbs, but I started one on fire this way. The updraft carb allowed the fuel to run out when it didn’t start right off. Then when it did, it lit the fuel. You never saw two adults scramble out of an airplane so fast.

Bob, I put an electric primer in that primes all 4 cylinders and agree with you. I have never needed it in sunny tropical Ohio!! Waste of time and money!!!!!!

I agree with the fire hazard. However, this can be mininmized by only pumping with care once the engine is cranking. The prinmer goes directly into the cylinder, rather than the induction system.

Actually, it goes into the intake port. The fuel will still run out of
the carb; it just takes a little longer.

You have to do it *AFTER* you start cranking and you make it through the first compression stroke. If you pump the throttle before cranking then fuel will run out the bottom of the carb.

In my case it was an unfamiliar airplane. The master had a key switch as well as a toggle and one of them wasn’t on. Just don’t forget to turn on the switch as the engine won’t start without it. Then when you turn it on, there may be left over fuel that ran out of the updraft carb.
