PRIMING
SYSTEM.
12-57.
DESCRIPTION.
A
manually
operated
priming
system
is
installed
on carburetor
engines
only.
Fuel
is
supplied
by a
line from
the
fuel strainer
to the
plunger-type
primer.
Operating
the
primer
forces
fuel to
the aft
end
of each
intake
manifold,
thus
priming
the
entire
length
of
the
intake
manifold
for
each
bank
of
cylinders.
Replacement
of
the
primer
is accomplished
by
disconnecting
the
fuel lines
at
the
primer
and removing
the
primer
from the
in-
strument
panel.
Before
installing
a primer,
check
it for
correct
pumping
action
and
positive
fuel
shut-
off
in the
locked
position.
Primer
lines
should
be
replaced
when
crushed
or broken
and
should
be
properly
clamped
to
prevent
fatigue
due
to vibration
and chafing.
