I'd like to hear the opinions out there on the proper way to prime an engine. I always taught my students to only use the primer...not to pump the throttle. I remember reading a long time ago that pumping the throttle can cause a fire. I've also seen a student set fire to a Warrior.
But yet, I still have people come in for flight reviews, advanced training, etc. who pump the throttle for priming.
Am I wrong in having them only use the primer? It seems like the primer works better anyway (at least from my experience).
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter.
