    Upgraded to rear tank and all new fuel lines and pump. Anything I need to do on first start up to ensure the pump gets a prime?:v6:

    if you have a air compressor,with a regulator,you can cut the air psi back to like 2 lbs,disconnect the fule line @ the pump,take a rag and put a little air in the gas tank through the filler hole and it will push the gas up there,be carefull though too much air and you are gonna need another tank,it will rupture if too much air psi is used,you could drift or pull start it,to keep from grinding on your starter so much,thats about all i have in suggestions

    I primed the carb, that was it. Just to be sure I wasn't just cranking forever.
