• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Elliston recommends using either a push/pull engine primer or an electric solenoid. I know push/pulls but solenoids look to me like nothing more than an electronic open/close gate valve operated from a cockpit push button. I assume the solenoid fuel pickup line could be attached to the gascolator same as the push/pull.
So electric pump on for pressure then momentarily depress the cockpit button for prime ?
The required button "hold down" time duration developed over time ?
Is this assumption correct ?
Are you guys that are using throttle bodies even using primers ?
Welcoming all pro's and con's
Thank you
