OK, this is it, I can`t stand it any longer,I must clear my conscience, so hear I go.
Hello, name is Vincent and I am a primer,Im sorry,what can i say but that`s the way it is ,Infact I`ve primed a lot of engine`s, foden`s, burrell`s fowler`s, aveling`s, a foster and a ransome`s Wot can i say, I`m sorry I really am, I know I need help ,because deep down I know I`m going to do it again ,I suppose I can take some consolation in the fact that at least I`ve never dropped the plug, now that would be something to be ashamed about!!

ash pans
My ash pan is airtight and the engine will give off white vapour when shut, by airtight i mean any gaps at all sealed. that air tight the fire would go out if the damper was left shut and when pulling hard you struggle to open it or prehaps i go around priming all the time aswell.look through your firehole door with no fire on the grate damper shut then you will see how airtight your ashpan is if you see no light......

See the photographs earlier in this thread. It must have been a prime.....look at my wife holding up an umbrella; but then again it could have been all the hot ashes (cooled by the water)!!
