Amen Brother !!
I'm reminded of a time starting a S-55 that we'd obviously over-primed. A flickering flame from the exhaust stack "down there" (remember the vantage point of a pilot in the S-55) told me to KEEP CRANKING! When it did finally light off, she spit a fantastic 8ft lick of flame. I had to let out a Tim Taylor, "Harrr Harrr Harr" and cast a huge smile. It was then I noticed the ashen faced lineboy running over with the fire bottle. Gave him my cool-aviator "nothing to worry about" wave, and we were off.
