>When I need to "prime" a carb. I use a mustard/ketchup bottle (sold at Wallys in the picnic section). I first with a Sharpie will label it so it is NEVER used for human consumption (one of my many phobias).This way I do not spill any gas and it fits perfectly in the bowl vents and I can monitor the amount of gas I am putting in.
>But as far as the fuel starving issues I have seen the tank sender unit internally blocked off due to varnish buildup. Unfortuneatly on the FC this is not real accessible but certainly worth fixing when tank is removed. Carb spray, bailing wire, compressed air,and time/effort, etc. does the trick. Especially if 1 intends to drive their  vehicle any distance.We all know it's a lot nicer working in the garage rather than on the side of the road.
