    How would the schrader valve prime the carb ?????

    My initial thought was that you could use a tire pump to pressurize the tank as the primer button would. That would be pretty mickey mouse. In thinking about it, it would be better to be at the top of the tank. Not being a schrader valve, a fuel delivery port may make more sense.

    A question for those more knowledgeable. On a Merc tank, does the “primer” prime the carb or pressurize the tank?
