Finally installed a primer kit and wow that is the first mod on every ski from now on 
No more cranking forever after it sits! I had the fuel system drained, carb empty, new fuel filter, and still only took a couple squirts to fire right up. This should increase starter and battery life drastically. Also, without the choke plate it should reduce the airflow into the carb slightly.
Here is what I did:
- Installed the included T-fitting in reserve line between baffle and fuel switch, used regular hose clamps for the 2 x 1/4" connections
- Removed choke cable, kept the inside/outside mouting plates and drilled out to 3/4"
- Installed primer where choke went and connected a piece of the included hose from T-fitting to angled part, and another piece of hose from the straight part and ran towards carb
- Removed carb and took out choke plate screws, plate, cut choke shaft, removed shaft pieces
- Disassembled carb, inspected, cleaned, reassembled
- Installed included plug and line fittings into carb with waterweld epoxy (oil/gas resistant, 1hr cure)
- Installed carb
- Made a loop in the hose down low before going to carb fitting, ziptied everything up including small connections.
Works great, easy install. Took about 10-12 pumps at first to get fuel through the primer lines then just a couple more pumps to squirt the fuel. With the loop I say it should only take a couple pumps from here on out.
P.S. - I had a Fram G-2/G-12 fuel filter installed at beginning of year...well I noticed today it came apart inside ?!? Check out the picture. Probably explains why there was trash in the internal carb filter again when I cleaned it today. I installed a WIX 33002 in its place.
