Hey Guys & Gals: Has anyone put a primer on their Jabiru with a Bing carburetor?

No, but I'm wondering why you would want to? My thought is that it would not do anything for you that the choke wouldn't do so what am I missing

On a list in another place the primer has been mentioned as being used
successfully. I suggest you surf jabiruengines at Yahoo groups.
The way I see it the advantage of the primer is that one can add the
amount of fuel to richen the start to meet the conditions, whereas the
'starting carburettor' is fixed in it's operation from a day to day
basis.
I have successfully started a dead Jabiru by squirting fuel through the
carburettor simulating a primer when everything else had checked out and
the engine refused to start. This was middle of UK winter when overnight
temps had been around 2 degrees C.
This winter as soon as the 'hard to start days' arrive I shall be
experimenting with enlarging the whole in the starting carburettor
restrictor. To date whenever I've had problems starting my 2200 Jabiru I
feel the mixture wasn't rich enough.
My 3300 Jabiru starts in all conditions I've yet to try it in even
turning over very slowly, different age engine by about 8 years.
If the enlarging of the starting carb restriction doesn't work I'm
seriously considering a primer.
Like a number of issues associated with Jabiru engines, there's engines
and there's engines.......
If I were building again I think I'd add the primer option from the
start.
Regards, Clive
