My last plane didn’t have a primer system and never had an issue starting, even on cold/high humidity mornings at 4125MSL. Three pumps on the throttle, hit the starter and we’re making good engine noise. My Hatz came with a primer and I’ve used it occasionally with good results. I just returned from a six week trip and with the standard three pumps, she fired right up. The morning was about 60f and around 80% humidity at 110MSL.
The question is, why do I need a primer? To me it’s another source of potential problems and I’m ready to pull it out and go with the tried and true three throttle pumps.
Can anyone please tell me why not to pull it out?
Thanks!!
