I use a N.C. solenoid that feeds from the carb side of the gascolator. It puts fuel into the intake "spider" just above the carb. With 80+ hours I've not had any trouble starting so it must be working fine. My 0-200 generally fires on the second or third blade. For the sake of science I'll go to the airport and varify that this morning. :-)
Thanks Guys, I guess as long as I get fuel into the intake tubes, the engine would start fine even on a very cold day. Probably does not have to atomize, at 5 psi it will most likely be a dribble. Most hand primers seem fairly stiff and I figured it must be making quite a bit of pressure. My gascolator has a 1/8" npt primer connection on the outlet side before the mechanical (engine driven) pump, will have pressure there from the wing tanks via the facet pump.
