I have a Revmaster 2100D engine and it starts every time without issues. Here
is my method... first of all I do not have a primer or pump of any kind. My
carb is an injector type (Aerocarb).
Ignition offI open my fuel valve, push the mixture to full rich, and turn my
prop by hand for four or five full turns. (This action sucks fuel into my
manifold. )I then turn on the ignition and hit the starter.
The engine kicks to life after half, to one full turn every time... that is my
method to start my engine...
Thanks
Luis

Hi Follks,
I appreciate all the help that has been given to me to this point. BUT I need
more guidance...
I'm trying to start my Kr2 NOW.
Facts:1. The engine turns very well. - But it does not seem seems like no
fuel.2. Debugging showed that my prime was not shooting fuel into the cylinder.
As a result no fuel in the cylinder.3. I pulled off the fuel primer plunger
(primer in my case) and tested it on my workbench. It WORKED.
Caveat is that I had the hose immersed directly in the water source I was using.
4. The primer is fed straight from the top of the gascolator. 5. I have 2
gallons of fuel in my Header fuel tank. 6. The primer (plunger) line to the
gascolator never has any fuel in it.7. When I blow in the line (hose) between
the primer plunger -> gascolator. I can hear the fuel bubbling - so I know it
is not blocked.There is fuel in the gascolator.
Question:1. Do I need an auxiliary fuel pump between the engine and the header
tank?
2. Why is the pressure not forcing the fuel to the primer plunger? Laws of
physics say it should be there.. right?
Any comments will be appreciated
