What? you misunderstood my whole post. If your bowls are dry and you have an electric pump (Been there like every morning with a TQ on a 340) and they are on the same circuit as your ignition, you are not going to be able to start your car right up. "I would spin the engine over then flip the ignition and fuel on and she fires right up" how if the bowls are dry? Its gonna take a few seconds to fill the bowls even with ignition/pump on. Sure engine cranking will prime oil pressure but you have an electric pump that's not going anywhere without power and that is your ignition circuit that's not on. IF you lose control of your magneto's kill switch (wire comes loose, switch fails to ground) and you don't have your electric fuel pump on its own control circuit, how are you going to kill the motor? Aw, I give up. If you find an answer you like, share it.
