Here's a question for you guys.


I dont currently have a primer system on my machine and have a PS-5C press carb, I am converting to an Ellison TBI and the suggestion is to fit a primer system.


I guess I am being lazy but would this idea work.


I am currently running a Christen wobble pump for initial fuel press rise, if I was to T off the fuel line and place a solenoid off the T then onwards to primer line and nozzles in two of the cylinders am I likely to get enough pump from the wobble pump to give a good prime once the solenoid has been tripped. Just thought it worth asking as I can really be bothered adding an electric primer pump or fitting a plunge primer.


Thanks


Ryan
