<DIV>Always hand start it. With the glow clip disconnected, open the throttle all the way, choke the carb with your finger until it gets wet with fuel, continue to choke for 2-3 more revolutions. Reduce throttle to normal idle speed, hook up the glowplug, and back flip it to start.</DIV>

<DIV>Sometime I have to hook up the fuel bottle to the feed line and pump slowly to get fuel to the Perry pump if the plane has sat a few days. Most times, just choking the carb is enough.</DIV></DIV>
