PO put a Weber 38 on my 40. I plan to go back to OEM and I'm slowing collecting the parts. Until then I have this question:
How can I prime the carb or get fuel in the fuel bowl after the truck has been sitting for a while? Apparently Webers are bad about the fuel in the bowl evaporating in a short time period. My rig can sit for weeks as my slow a$$ works some little project.
It takes a long while for the engine to fire up after sitting just because the fuel has to get pulled up to the carb from the tank. I hate to think of the damage I'm doing to the cylinder walls as it cranks over for 20+ seconds before firing up.
What is the best way to get fuel in the carb by hand before I turn the key? Also if not obvious by now, I know nothing about carbs, but my internet research on this question has come up empty. I see some have added an electrical fuel pump to help with this issue, but I really dont want to invest in that since I'm going to go back to the Aisin eventually.
Thanks
