I have a 1968, 31 commander, 327s,after not starting for a week or longer, gas seems to go back down the line,has new fuel pumps, and lines, best way to get fuel back up to carb, without cranking engine for ever
More than 2 days without running my carbs are dry. True for the original and new engines. My solution is a small wash bottle, maybe 50 to 75mls. 25 or so in overflow spout, a good squirt down a primary, reattach the flame arrestor and fire it off. While the first warms (yes exhaust was checked for water flow) the other engine is given the same treatment. Some time ago Dick Morland posted a long dissertation on adding supplemental electric fuel pumps to ensure carbs were full and prevent fuel starvation at WOT.
