I do it just like Mark L. does. I tee off the fuel line that is under pressure from the fuel pump/s, into an electrically activated solenoid. (available at AS) That diverts some of the fuel thru small copper lines, directly into the intake manifolds. You can do it by going into one or both manifolds. So, ready to start the engine, I like to give it a shot of the primer, then allow it to turn over once or twice with the starter and then, continuing to turn it over, hit the solenoid agian until it starts. This normally takes less than 3 turns of the prop. When the engine is hot, it normally does not need primer, so I suggest you first give it a chance to start without, then if it does not, press the primer button until it starts.
This has worked every time for me. On Wednesday, May 21, 2014 10:29 AM, Lawrence Bell <lebell8978 at gmail.com> wrote: ============= Dan, how do you prime the Ellison, with a can of primer?

The best carbeuretor that I have ever found for the VW was the Ellison EFS-2, but they quit making them a long time ago. The best that I have used on a Corvair is the EFS-3A and they have just now stopped making them. Why, I really don't know. I discussed this at length with Ben Ellison to no avail. So, I am thinking that we better be thinking of the Marvels or Strombergs or other aircraft carbeuretor that is suitable for the size engine we are using. Dan Heath ============= My biggest headache was with the 32mm posa.Too leaky for hand prop and too lean on the high end.In all fairness to posa,mine was probably too big[32mm] for an 1835.Had good luck with the GPAS zenith and Ellison EFS2.The Ellison gave me some problems until I discovered a hole in the diaphram.Replaced it with the tillotson diaphram.No problems since.Still needs primer for start.Tommy W. _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
