[T3] no start -- but just drove it!

I try again soon.  Would it be ok to try running the starter and
running the pump primer also at the same time, manually over-riding it
to see if it will start?

Just don't want to do anything dangerous and I try to think things
through.  I don't see a problem with that but want to be sure.
