I don't because I can't figure it out. I generally feed throttle in after I begin cranking. Usually it doesn't start until the second try. But it is pretty consistent. If the engine has been run, like after fueling en-route, I leave the throttle off and it will start without adding fuel, then I keep it running with throttle advance. This is in the winter or summer.
For some reason, once in a while, I feel like I should try the primer. I give it a quick squirt of about a second or two,, then crank the engine. It doesn't start so I move the throttle off the stop and it still won't start. But now, I am lost. I'm never sure at that point if I've flooded the engine or what. So it is all trial and error from that point on. And then I go back to not using the primer for a few weeks before I try it in vain again at some point.
Do you guys have a procedure that works? I'm carb'ed on an O-360.
Thanks. Andy
