I did prime the oil and had my son turn the crank when priming to fill the crank. How do I get gas to the carb with a mechanical pump? The carb I am starting it with was off the running 318 last fall. Just using it for the start up. I plan on putting a rebuilt Holly on it but don't want to deal with the carb problem on start up.



I have a fitting I screw in the carb inlet, with a
hose then to a small 1/2 gal gas can with a fitting
on the bottom...... do you know how to siphon....
put the hose in the tank with the tank up higher
and siphon it... put your finger on the hose and
attack to the carb
OR
Just use a oil squirt can with gas in it to fire the
engine down the carb till the pump fills the carb...
I dont like telling rookies to do this
