Priming 3208T?

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

I have always had just as much luck just refilling the racor with
fuel until it is at the top, put the T lid back on and start the
engine.......kind of hard to start the engines and ask the wife
in "curlers" to tell me when it is "bubbling" out the top. Stop!
Good luck.
