As far as getting it to start, recommendations? Seafoam is in the tank right now. But I'm wondering if i shouldnt squirt a little gas in the cylinders or something. Opinions? I want this running so bad haha.
Cranking with a dry carb is a little rough. You might need to crank it about 30 seconds with the choke full on to get it going. You might could speed up the process by putting a temporary hose on the small port on the petcock and suck on it a little. This will let the gas run into the carb bowls. Then put the regular tube back.
