that's why I only fly pre-glass cockpit planes in flight sims. way more engaging and fun. People will probably be saying this about cars in the future btw - "I prefer old cars that you have to manually steer, gear and accelerate, not these new cars that are all self driving".

@@TheAnnoyingBoss Back then they overbuilt the airframe because using aluminum was new and they didn't fully understand it's strength and how to make the different alloys used today.
These old tei motors are still very air worthy. I flew in one just before COVID shut things down. Had a very good flight, and the plane was solid in flight as well as landing. Do you know that commercial pilots fly these planes from show to show? I talked with one pilot that ferries around the one I flew on. He flys the new commercial jets for his occupation, but flies these old planes around because of just the love of the old aircraft. Do you think he would be flying it if there was much danger involved? My flight on the trip motor was as smooth as a commercial jet, the motors sounded prettier than a jet, and we were low enough to be able to enjoy the sights of the land below. Hell yes, I would fly in it again given the chance.
Yes, that's how we all start our car every morning, don't you? ;-)) But well, there are oldtimer planes that need this procedure... Maybe pumping the gas (petrol?) to the engine...?

That pump on the floor pumps fuel directly into the intake manifold. Race cars of this period had them to help them start. They're called KI Injectors. I think for Kompressor Intake Injectors. I've owned 3 period race cars and each had one.
Old British motorcycles had what we riders called "ticklers" on the carburetors that just dumped gas down into the venturis. I just used them on my BSA Mark IV and only added the use of the choke on really cold days. Then I would kick the motor over a couple of times, then bring the motor right up against a compression stroke and give the kick starter a good thump. The old Ryder's would say, "If you can start it, you can ride it". Saw one kid get thrown forward over the hand bars of a BSA Victor because he didn't know how to kickstart right.
