Hi! Ferg.
Yes it does, since the oil always drains in to the sump. Burping it gets the oil pump primed full of oil and all scavenged away to the tank and so ensures hydraulic push rods earliest oil pressure is achieved on start up. It also primes the carbs with some fuel vapour. Not withstanding ….”no burp” …no oil or bust pipe or pump and that’s the best time to find it !!.
To prop the engine (mags off!) also gives you a distinct “feel” of any lacking cylinder compression.
That’s why I do mine myself.
Regards and Happy New Year.

I read with interest the thread about ‘burping’ the engine (shades of new grandchild). I wonder if this applies to 914’s as well, since many facets are common to both?
