starting up my 318 after nine+ years....

A priming tool is a snap to make.

- Take a 3' long by 5/16" steel rod from the hardware store and hammer 6 evenly angled flats in one end. Takes a whole minute with a good vise or anvil to beat on with a machinist's hammer.
- Or use a 3' long by 3/8' steel rod and grind the 6 flats on one end.

Cut either to a suitable length, chuck into drill, pull shaft, insert down into the oil pump, and go to town! Spin CW.....
