Better to use small funnel or the ketchup bottle to fill the float bowl through the vent. A couple of ounces is all that is needed. Much safer than pouring fuel in the bores and less chance of flooding the engine.

Allow the engne to sit for 5 minutes or so after filling the float bowl to allow the accelerator pump to absorb fuel and swell up. Then the accelerator pump is more likely to work correctly.

If you have no other option but to pour fuel in the bores then make sure you hold the butterflies open so the fuel doesn't run out the butterfly shafts.


And always put the air cleaner back on before cranking the engine to prevent a fire.
