Installing solenoid primer?

[ddddsp]

I want to put an electrical solenoid primer system on my O-540. I plan to run primer lines to all cylinders except #5 as it has the MAP hose connected to it. Does anyone have a schematic or pics of one installed? Where did you mount the solenoid? How did you tap into the fuel line and where?

Thanks,

I just put a "T" fitting in the fuel line down stream of the Auxilary Fuel Pump. The tap off at the "T" goes to the input of the solenoid and the output of the solenoid goes to the cylinders through 1/8" plumbing components with all of the necessary provisions for, support, vibration, strain relief, chafe protection, etc. The actual design is up to you but that is what I did and it works fine for me.
