[C320-list] Cap on Racor

[Bill Hutt]

I had no idea about this. Last year my mechanic sucked on the fuel line to 
get the fuel flowing. How does this pump work?
Thanks,
Bill Hutt

Thanks Chuck.  Now that you mention it, I think I used it last summer. 
Think I'm losing my mind!

Warren and Don - That’s a pump.  Loosen the cap and use it for priming the 
engine.  It is much more effective than the little lever on the fuel pump.

I'm remembering someone talking about a fuel shutoff on the top of the Racor
filter. The parts diagram shows what is listed as "Check Ball and Cap" on
the top between the fuel inlet and primer pump. On mine, it's a plastic cap
with a slot for a screwdriver. Perhaps by turning this the correct way (??)
the fuel can be shut off there. Anyone know about this?

Not sure, but I have the same on mine and I wondered the same thing. Will be 
interesting to find out.
