Anyone mention starter fluid? Safe and you don't overfill or spill. But I say crank motor first for a while.

I usually take a can of carb cleaner and fill the bowl of the carb. start it up, by the time the carb cleaner burns off the fuel pump will have already reprimed itself. if its been sitting a while, crank it a few times to get the oil recirculated through the pump/bearings/lifters/etc.
