I have no need for parking lights so now the park position on the ignition is the prime for the carbs. If I need to stop the pump from operating in a lay down, I just hit the kill switch. [emoji41]
Good info there. Thank you. :bow:

So you can prime the carbs on the 800. [emoji106]

Mine will prime in the "ON" and "P" position of the switch.
I at first just hooked up to the P position without by-passing the starting circuit, bad idea, as the engine would crank when in that position.
So now it will prime when turned on or if I want to mess with with the carbs or pump without having the ignition live I can do.
