primer, yes, not to say bad word but all cessna,s i have seen have
primers,maybe some makes don't but on some days don't know how you
would start a
0-320 without a primer

as for baffles, vans sells a kit for 0-320 that a lot of people
use and i
have bought, its a great kit

At the risk of asking a dumb question
..................................
O-320 E2D, no fuel pump

I had not planned on installing an engine primer, but now I am not
so
sure. Since most of my flying is in helicopters, I am not totally
into the
Lycoming world yet. What is the consensus out there?

Also, I am looking for a set of baffle cutting templates for this
engine.
I looks like it will be a lot of work to make templates from scratch.

Remember that underwear darkening COUGH on take off one day
Walter?? That
was from the air in your gascolator after you had drained it and
not used
the primer to remove the air!

That gives another reason to have one for sure....although, Mike,
I wish you
luck starting that lycoming on a cold winters day without a
primer...and if
you're going to do it right prime all 4 cylinders for even
start/wear....orat least three if you need a vacuum pick up for a
manifold pressure gauge or
sensor like the EIS system.

Cheers,
Wayne

Also, while I'm not 100% sure about this, but when changing fuel

tanks or
turning on my tank valves (top ones by the tanks), or after
draining the
gascolator for water, there may be the possibility of some trapped
air in
the top of the gascolator. The reason I say this, is that I have
noticedsometimes when I use the primer before starting the engine,
that it takes a
few pumps before I feel it pumping fuel. So it seems to be purging
the air
out first. Like I said, though, could be wrong here, and maybe it
is just
that it takes a while for the primer O ring to seat enough to
start pumping.

Yes, I do rememer that one very well (surprised you
did), but that was after refueling and switching
tanks, after filling an empty one. If you recall, I
had found that with my fuel set-up (shut off valves
up top) that if I close the empty tank before
opening the new one, I will create an airlock in my
fuel lines. I can repeat and demonstrate that one at
will now. If I did that in the air, it would result
in an engine outage. Now in hindsight, and thinking
about air in the gascolator, maybe the primer would
clear that airlock. Will have to try that when I get
a chance (on the ground of course).

And then there was that other wierd one if you
remember, where I had dirt in my primer, and it
caused fuel to get sucked by into my cylinders. Took
me a while to find that one (your expert remote
diagnosis was right on again, though) and had quite
a few engine stumbles at inopportune times,
including with a passenger one time at the lake.
First time I have ever seen anyone grab for the
window of an airplane in flight, like she wanted
out. Not sure what she was thinking there, but got
her calmed down OK and we cruised back at a low
power descent for an uneventful landing back at my
cabin. Went through some extra booze that evening,
and no more rides that weekend...
