Hi, Paul.  There are likely better, easier, safer ways to run fuel to an en=
gine for test-starts.  One way would be to take a jerry can of fuel and run=
 a line to the carbs.  You could hook up a Fawcet electric fuel pump if you=
 can't raise the can sufficiently for gravity feed.  Saves the worry over s=
pills, overflow, and so on, and gives you a bit more time with the idling e=
ngine before the fuel starves out.   Just keep in mind not to idle too long=
 to avoid overheating if you haven't set up the radiator yet. =20
