Jon89le Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 i have a primer on me but i dont know if i really need to or not. Would it be even worth it? I wouldnt be starting the car til a day atleast afterwards and thats a big "IF it starts". And can i still prime the motor without being able to turn it over or what? Thanks.[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 are you talking fuel? I think the pump ends up doing all that when you switch the ignition to "on" but don't start it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon89le Posted November 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 oh, sorry about that. I was talking about the oil. Normally people say to prime the motor by putting a distributor shaft, if you want to call it, into where it would normally go and turning it with a drill. They had an episode on HP TV about it once.

Thanks.[/b] You can prime it but you can also goose start it. like just kick the starter over a few times for about 20-30 seconds. That should get it going some. I n the mean time you can prime it then when the time come you can just kick it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
