I think I'm going to remove the solonoid type primer system on my carbureted
0-360.  I never use it, not even on cold days, and all it really is, is a bunch
of excess fuel lines and fittings that can break or leak.  (a potential fire
hazard)  I'm thinking that anything that can be done to simplify the fuel system
is a good thing.

Questions to the group:

1] Has anybody who chose never to install a primer ever wish you had?

2] Has anybody who has ever removed a primer system ever wish they didn't?

3] Has anybody (in any airplane) ever experienced in-flight engine problems with
which use of a primer as an alternate fuel source was able to keep the fan
turning?

Andy
