Re: Holley 4781 double pumper priming?

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alright, I'm a schmuck.  I didn't have as much gas as I thought.  But
I'm still having trouble.  I get what looks like a good squirt now,
but it still won't run.  If I prime it with a cap-full of gas, it
starts to fire a little, but cuts right out.  No sounds of firing at
all without priming.  So, same question; do I need to prime the carb
float bowls?  How?  Thanks.
