When the fuel has evaped out or such, whats the best way to get fuel into the bowls with out opening top or taking fuel line off.
On a holley you just put it down the bowl vent stack. On a TQ though, the three stacks don't go directly into the bowls, more like slosh pockets that are separated from the bowls.
What do you all do so you dont have to crank and crank on the motor.

Make a 2nd fuel line that is bent up so you can insert a funnel and pour gas into the carb. Needle & seat will stop fuel flow when bowls are full. Remove temporary fuel line and reinstall stock line before startup. There should be enough fuel in the bowl to allow mechanical pump to refill carb after it starts.

safest way to do it as well.
I like to use a dish soap bottle with the pull cap when primming a carb such as a holley,ez pour down the vent and more control of the gas.
much safer when dumpping it down the carb as it is cranking,you know when it kicks back and shoots flames out the carb.
