Starting with an Electric Starter

When using an electric starter it is not necessary to prime the engine. The starter will turn the engine over fast enough that the engine will draw fuel on its own. Priming the engine prior to using an electric starter can cause the engine to “hydro-lock” or flood. This is a result of too much fuel in the engine before it actually fires. Turning the engine over with an electric starter while the engine is flooded can cause extreme damage to the engine and/or cause your propeller assembly to come loose or spin off completely. Pull the propeller through the compression stroke one time by hand to check for a hydro-locked state before applying the starter.
