    A primer? More than one of your friends think it's a primer? I'm surprised your friends have even heard of a primer.

    did you pull it out first? straight out, then adjust

    The primer thing is not so hard to believe. The lever shaft is really smooth and it makes a kind of hissing noise, like a pump, when you pull it out and then let it retract. It's a bit of an add functional part, but I guess it works!

    I wondered what that lever did for 6 months. Then one day I was driving going 65 and decided to figure out what it did, I pulled it out and down, then I saw a cop so I put my hands back on the wheel. Then it moved all the way down, in the process I swerved to the right. I got pulled over, and explained it to the cop. He let me go, hahah.

    its a bloody brilliant idea
    instead of those ones like toyota or nissan ones where you need almost super human strength to release the column tilt lock
