For those that still think pumping the throttle is better than priming, attached is a picture of a fuel stain on my nosewheel pant. While I was getting under the panel to trace some wires during the engine monitor install, my head bumped the throttle all way the forward. The cowling was off, and when I got out I noticed this fuel stain on the nose pant. If the cowling had been on, that fuel would have been inside the cowling, and that was from just 1 pump.
