Good point about the primers. They are much taller and have a "head" screwed onto small pipes. The lids slide sideways, while the oil cups have flip-up lids. The primers were apparently intended to assist in starting in winter, according to the operator's manual.

These engines were extremely difficult or impossible to start on the heavy fuels after cooling off. A few squirts of gasoline in the primers would probably give a mixture that would start the engine. The correct way to stop, of course, was to shut off the kerosene/distillate and let the engine stop after the carb emptied, OR, shut off kerosene/distillate, turn on gas and stop after the engine had time to burn up the heavy fuel in the carb. Pain in the neck. I tried it once on my father's 10-20 and said I'd never use kerosene again.
