Prime the carb when the gas has evaporated? What do you guys do?

[Mebsuta]

Take off lid to air cleaner, a few drops of that small engine fuel down the carburetor, fires right up.

Either that or pump the accelerator about 10x, crank for 2 seconds, repeat until it starts. Usually takes two or three tries.

It does that with Carters. Holleys are easier to start after sitting.

I don't care either way. Mine's an old hot rod. Ever see somebody try to start an old airplane with a Wright Cyclone?

Cyclones. Put them in Grants,Sherman's and even Stuart's I believe.

Many times! Just takes flipping the switch on the boost pump. Cough..cough.

I have it on good word that Santa got me a Holley Sniper EFI kit and all the trimmings. My cranky cranky starting problems are about to be solved!
