Fair call SSD. I do have the luxury of hangarage in winter. I also seem to run quite low air pressure so I would not get too many chances to allow me to underprime. I follow the recommended priming of one full priming shot for every 10 degrees centigrade below 110 on the CHT. On my own, after having pulled through to clear any oil, I give 5 shots, then get down and pull through 5 blades, then 4 /5 more shots, then 5 blades. Get in and start. Seems to work for my engine, but they are all a little different. I always prime cylinders with 2 / 3 shots whilst the engine is compressing in the start too (obviously only for the first cold start of the day though).
Cheers
