Bowie69 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Crank it up and get it to around 2000rpm and keep it there for 20 mins, no need to manually prime if you have well lubed everything during assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender dinky Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 I was thinking of fuel lines being empty, might be a lot of cranking before fuel gets through, dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
