About to roll the thing out from winter storage and start it for the first time. Just wondering if there is an easy way to get the thing to crank and build oil pressure without actually firing the engine (like holding down the gas on a car when starting to shut off the fuel injectors). I know how to do it manually, but just thought I'd check here for a shortcut. Thanks!

Oil pressure is almost instant. Make sure safety switch is on run, turn on key, wait for gauge needles to sweep, hit the starter button, don't give it any gas. Only needs to warm up for a minute or so.

No need. Fire it up.

Sweet. Thanks for the clarification/reassurance guys!
