Ran the electric primer until it stopped buzzing.

Fingers crossed it keeps doing this.

Son came up for father's day. Car had been sitting for a couple months since last started so gave me a chance to check out the primer pump.

As you can hear in the video, it took about 15 seconds of electric pump operation to fill the bowl, then I hit the gas pedal to set the choke and get the accelerator pump in the carb squirting. It took only 3 short starter bursts to fire off, which is a HUGE improvement over waiting for the mechanical pump to fill the carb.

Good enough!
