Priming engine before startup?

How soon before you start a crate engine must you have primed it? Basically, if I prime the oil pump well this weekend, but don't start it till next weekend, will I have a problem?

    Once it's primed, it's primed. Like the car in your driveway, it doesn't bleed back down. Fire that mutha up!

    they test this engines before they ship them. so it should be set to go. the fuel pump should pick this up. for quick start-up. you should have no problems.
