Thats true, Guppy.
I don't know how long Scottishflyer182 has had their aeroplane, but it has also been my experience that until you've lived with your aeroplane for a full year, in all the various climatic conditions which that year brings, everything is new - settings, indications etc. The aeroplane I had at home in Scotland took 6 primes and would start without fail in the warmer months. When the temps dropped to about 10'C, then it was 8 or 10 primes. When it was down to freezing and lower (in WI when we moved here), it was a case of 10 or 12 primes, and keep pumping the primer whilst pressing the starter (fire extinguisher at the ready). Lots of puffs of smoke and grumbling, then it would start, and run like a dream. But it was a round engine after all, so that was to be expected
