I would like to be able to prime the edelbrock with fuel but don't particularly want to deal with an electronic pump of any sort. that's what I'd do (k.i.s.s.) remove the lid & squirt some raw fuel in there.

Don't just poor gas down it's throat. Unless you are a big "Garage Squad" fan. ![shock shock](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shock.gif) If you are going to remove the air cleaner every time you might as well fill the fuel bowls through the vents until it has a pump shot... i dont believe thats easily done on an edelbrock

Pouring raw fuel down the throat, letting the fuel run down into the cylinder walls, opening the door, cranking the ignition key. It may not be the end of the world but it is definitely not the better way to do this. Filling the bowl, replacing air filter, squirt the accelerator pedal the minimum amount to start the car and probably less than a second later crank and fire.

Electric Fuel pump...git 'er done! Anyone running a carter avs knows if it sits a while the bowls dry right out. Takes 10 cranks or so to get enough fuel into the carb if the car sits more than a few days, especially with today's alcohol-laced swill... Thermoquad's are REAL BAD for this. And I use ethanol free 91

I use a squirt bottle to fill the bowls through the vent on car without an electric pump. Gus ![beer beer](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/beer.gif)

Filling the bowl, replacing air filter, squirt the accelerator pedal the minimum amount to start the car and probably less than a second later crank and fire. OK I'm still missing something here. You step on the pedal to set the choke, what happens? The pump squirts gas into the carb. Turn the key, Engine starts. So... Dump a small amount of gas down the throat, hit key, start the car. Maybe I should have said leave the door open to get at the key quicker? ![shruggy shruggy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shruggy.gif)

You are missing nothing bboogie. If you are capable of a pouring the proper amount of fuel down the throat of your engine. This will work and obviousy has.
I just trying to protect the others who don't understand that too much fuel is bad for the cylinder walls. Visions of tilting a jerry can and watching fuel flow down the throat.So my advice was just another way to do it.

Ok I get that. Guess I was assuming too much. We all know what the werd assume means. ![grin grin](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/grin.gif)
