Push a button and it sprays fuel into each intake manifold through some special primer fittings that have orifices built in (in case the tubing breaks, so you won't have a huge vacuum leak). Mark, and others I am planning on a similar primer arrangement for my Lycoming, and have procured a 12v n.c. solenoid. I was planning to take pressurized fuel from the aux. pump (facet) but am concerned that it will not supply enough pressure (rated 3-5 psi) to atomize the fuel and feed equal volumes of fuel to all 4 intake ports. Should I add a 2nd (higher pressure) pump wired to run when the solenoid is energized, just for the primer. Guess I worry too much about fuel in the cockpit area. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
