You are referring to the 'Primer Solenoid'.
It may be operated two ways:
Turn ign 'ON' -push key in.-start engine.
Turn manually 90 degree, start engine, turn lever back.
If using manually, You have to be quick to turn it back. An alternative might be to turn it, then press the primer-bulb, turn back and start.

Almost.
In key - turn - Push and turn to start.
Note that engine might over-prime if You hold it IN too much, but sure You will learn the trick.
If You turn key to ign ON, and push in, You should hear a 'click' which is the activation of the solenoid.

Hey Mort ... Overprime .... do you mean Flood ?

I call that process the holy trinity on my rig .... turn , push (Click) Start. thats how I start ALL THE TIME..... is it advisable to not start by pushing in all the time... maybe thats why my rig gets a bit finicky starting towards the end of the day , Flooding the bugger .... could that be the readson ? thanks

David:
Engines have 'souls'. Some only needs to be primed first start in the morning, some needs it every time. Try to change to:Turn -start - push later in the day. If engine starts without 'push', just keep on.
