Electric primer installation

Skint · #1 01-10-2010, 08:07 PM

Having received my electric primer kit from Van's, there really is little guidance on the installation ie make your own bracket, wiring to panel etc
So where is a good place to place the solenoid? This would be for an 0-360, carb, 7a set up.
Looks like some angle attached to the firewall then there are threaded holes on the bottom of the solenoid to attach to the angle. I would assume a bunch of adel clamps to support the tubing runs and a push/start switch on the panel.
Guidance please!
Thanks

I used a straight (steel) fitting and connected it to the gascolator. Looks good. Others have done the same.

With respect to the switch if you have the boost pump you can wire to a 2 position switch where the 2nd position is momentary so you switch on the boost pump then hold the switch for a few second to prime. I have my switch between the throttle and mixture so it can be reched while holding the throttle.
