It may seem blown out of proportion. It may seem like it's not rocket surgery. It is over explained, by me especially. When someone asks for help and they say they are inexperienced, I don't want them to damage their motor. I want to explain, suggest, advise, if they care. Experienced members can just ignore the repetitive, boring aspect, so that others can get help. Starting at a basic level of explanation. Let me know if I am right or wrong. I am new here also and don't want to cause headaches.
Priming is one thing but walking a possibly inexperienced person thru a 6 year dormant motor startup is another. Ed's post on primer was interesting. Had never heard of that. At this point, I would not advise that to the poster. That's for an already good runner as added protection. It costs more than a good running 305!.... (joke)...... (maybe).
