Jack,
If that is the primer it could be the builder installed that way for hand
propping. I saw Peter Wright's Pietenpol in the U.K., and he had a primer
set up in a similar way for that reason.

Gentlemen,
The picture is of N4089P, built by Dave Adams, based at KGWW.
I purchased it in somewhat flying condition and have spent many hours making it
my own. Mostly minor mods such as installing a handheld radio bracket and putting
a PTT in the stick.
As to the speculation:
The engine is a Franklin 4AC-199E, 90hp. Electric start, though no electric system.
The black box low down behind the engine is a battery that takes ground
power to charge and is used to start the engine and operate the handheld. A
full charge will crank the engine more times than I have had need of as yet.
The brake pedal thing is, in fact, a brake pedal thing. Operated by cable to heel
brakes. There are two independent brake systems, right and left.
There is no fuel primer system. The carb has an accelerator pump that does the
job nicely.
The wing is a Clark Y.
The only "lead in the tail" is in the pilots tail. She balances nicely on the ground
but I am told it is a "little" nose heavy in flight. I have not taken it
up myself but hope to get a test pilot to take it up for me soon and do the
initial evaluation of the rigging. I had to take the wings off to transport it
to its current location and being a low time Sport Pilot with no time in a Piet,
I thought it prudent to have a test pilot do an evaluation for me. Volunteers?
Any and all questions will be answered to the best of my limited ability.
--------
Glenn

Just guessing. Those appear to be hydraulic lines, going to the wheels, not
primer lines going to the intakes. Who knows why someone would do such a
thing, but I have heard pilots say that they do not like hydraulics in the
cabin, or cockpit.

I'm not sure and Gary I wonder why it would be set up that way...

Based at KGWW... Goldsboro, North Carolina. You have some experienced Piet pilots
in your region, and my guess is that one of them would be willing to test
your airplane.

I stand corrected!! I thought it had to pump something, never thought someone would
put master cylinder on other side of firewall.

Maybe it is set up to hold the brakes while propping from behind the
propeller.
