(I quit using the throttle as a primer after a friend nearly lost his RV4 to an air-box fire after using the throttle.) After start, pump is off through run-up (so the mech pump gets checked), back on for takeoff. Off when clear of the field. (I would occasionally forget this in my Grumman and leave the pump on for the entire flight - so the Lancair has a green tell-tale light for the elect pump.) Pump back on prior to entering downwind, off after clearing the runway. Dick Alden LNC2 (320), N425A
