Fuel priming question

[pharmacist25]

The easiest way to prime the fuel system back up after caeb rebuild seems like dripping fuel into the carbs through the flame arrestor. Is there something you can just spray in the flame arrestor box through the small hole in the top using a wd-40 red straw or something that will get the fuel down to the carb?

You want to use premix fuel to drip in the carbs so things stay lubed, and i dont know of anything the engine will run on and be lubed at the same time in a spray can. You can also pull the spark plugs out and use the statrer 10 seconds at a time letting it cool down between crankings and prime it that way

pour pre-mix in the arrestor hole or pour some in down the spark plug holes. Most of the time you only have to do this once and the system is primed.

Can it just be sprayed in through the top of the little rubber grommet in the top of the air box?

yep in the little hole where the rubber grommet goes. that is over the center of the carbs so it should go in then you pour it it. I use a paper cup to pour some in.
