Another question on the manifold drain lines.
I made sure mine all went “down hill”, no place for oil to pool. I know most are not this way, the drain is above the low spot.
Does it really matter? Can it suck in the little oil left in the line?

Yes, it can. But that small amount of oil will not cause the cylinder to hydraulic lock.

I believe the deal is to just get the oil (or too much fuel in a primed--too-much scenario) out of the cylinders to prevent hydro-lock.

Thank yet again Dennis.
Good to see you here, hopefully more CJ/YAK and Pitts12 types will find and use this list too.

Ted,
The amount of oil in the 1/4" drain kit line low spot is very small. On the order of what you can hold in a soda straw with your finger on top of it. We have actually removed the line you refer to and have found the amount of oil to be about 1/3 of the total internal volume of that hose. Just a few Cc's.
Sincerely,
