Hi Gang:
Been reading with interest the discussions on primers and their
assorted plumbing and hardware.
I have been using what came with the engines since day one. That
includes my 912 engines, as well as Rotax two strokes. They always
work for me in all temps, low and high. The secret is to use the
prescribed procedure for starting as described in the operators
manual.
1-Throttle closed.
2-Enricher full open.
3-Hit the starter.
The enricher dumps a load of fuel initially, then continues to operate
on a larger idle jet and more air to increase rpm.
I also experienced leaking enricher on the old 447. When I discovered
what it was, put a new part in it and drove on.
The 912 carb does not use the same valve as the two stroke. It is a
rotating valve with "O" rings that seems to work better and last
longer.
