By pre-oiling the engine with a drill driving the pump, then except for fuel, most of my "new fireups" would start up just like they'd been parked overnight.
I've only built 2 motors although you'd probly call them toys .

Anyway one was a Holden 6 (sorry haha ) & the other a Slant , with the Holden i was young & dumb & just slapped it together & was surprized cause it started & it just needed a fiddle to get sweet . BUT i probly done a heap of damage cause i just cranked it over haha .

But with the Slant i was a little wiser , well just maybe , cause this time i took the coil lead off & primed it that way , is this an OK practice ???
