Hello,
the start procedure I use:
1: all switches off
2: battery and fuel pump breakers on, run one pump till pressure gage stops rising (about 1/4 of gage sweep) then 1 shot prime. turn pump off.
(she seems to flood easy)
3:f8 and f4 to have Chief run starter, while starter is coming up to speed, turn on mags, ignition ,crack throttle slightly.
4: when chief yells "clear", pull starter handle until engine fires at least 3 or 4 times in a row then release starter, if engine quits firing, pull starter handle again as this will close booster coil switch for mags. for a hotter spark while starting
5: when engine is running, quickly turn on fuel pump, generator, warm engine till temps start to rise.
Hope this helps
Andy
