Finn,

	It just occurred to me...  Jim M. can get a bit of prime to the
engine by turning the key on and off a few times.  It seems that the EC2
opens the injectors for a split second when the power is applied (or
removed) so cycling the power a few times gives Jim a few squirts when
he needs prime.  I'm not sure if this is something all EC2s do, or
unique to Jim's setup.

Neil

I spent most of this weekend making brackets to mount my new left
radiator.
Finally got it mounted late this afternoon.
No ducting yet, but just had to go fly.
Amazing difference! Even with no ducting cools way, way better.
Air temps behind each radiator pretty much the same now.

Ducting next, then primer injectors (cold start procedure is still:
1) Remove cowling
2) remove spark plug
3) Drain a bit of fuel and blow into sparkplug hole with a length of
tubing
4) Replace spark plug
5) Replace cowling
6) Start.)
