[T3] Why is it that when I got my 73 SB I neverhadtoturnthekeysevera...

[William J]

I used the primer switch for the first time today , since I installed and 
tested it . I didn't have the gauge on it yet I know over night it will drop 
to zero . I didn't count how long yet it seemed to take a bit of time before 
I stopped hearing any noise like bubbles in the tank . I held it until I 
hear a sound in the engine area tried to start it and it quit then heeld it 
until I heard no noise then it fired right up . I guess I need to get used 
to it before I went by key on/off count 7 to 9 seemed to prime it.
