Why do it if it's not fun?

I can't recall ever flying two aircraft which liked the same amount of priming. Even two aircraft of the same type. And the other the aircraft, the bigger the difference between individual aircraft of the same type.

The POH is, as always, the place to start looking for hints. But you will find a technique which works for your aircraft, based on the POH guidelines.

Even for the same aircraft, different people seem to prefer different techniques. I can't start my Europa from cold without some choke (the amount depends on the outside temperature). Other group members can only start it without choke. Doesn't matter, so long as it's a safe technique which works.
