Yup, it needs priming. There's a crappy squeeze bulb at the rear of the head but it's a ' mare to use.

I undo the return fuel line at the green connector at the left of the engine and suck the fuel through. Takes abut 5 seconds and you won't get a mouthful if you listen out for the gurgling as the filter fills.
