The fuel lines don't _have_ to run into the cockpit to do this. It would be fairly simple to run a cable or small rod from the panel to the firewall, thus having the pushbutton on the panel but the fuel on the other side of the firewall. Of course, it does increase parts count. ;-) Think about mode of failure too. If the primer doesn't squirt fuel when it's supposed to, what happens? The engine doesn't start and you sit there on the ground trying to figure out why. On the other hand, if the primer squirts fuel when it's _not_ supposed to, what happens? In my opinion, there are a lot more bad possibilities with this option. Just another opinion to add to the pile ;-) Regards, RonB
