how do you prime the engine ?
If it has no primer button? How do you get the gas to the engine to get it started?

cover the exhaust for a second or two while turning over the motor with a starter box or pull start..

Primer Buttons aren't to good either. Most of the time they form Airleaks around them causing eratic engine problems. Best to plug the exhaust.

Covering the exhaust outlet works best for me, a quick blurp on the box or by the pull starter and your ready to rock!

The only way the fuel will come through the tube from your pipe to the gas tank is you have the uniflow mod without a one way valve in it... I use that method a lot and never got fuel in my mouth.
When I first started in the hobby though I used the finger over the pipe method.. Watch the fuel line and when the fuel gets to the carb... 1, 2... let go of the pipe..
You can also get an OFNA fuel filter with a primper built into it.. Click Here.. a 2 in 1 combo can't beat that... I have not read any reviews on it, so I am not sure about an airleak in this...
