No, that's not used to prime them, bub. Good luck.
Heh, thanks Zab. Luckily they don't need a full rebuild. I've spent the last few weeks cleaning them and they're in pretty good shape still. Only stuff I have left to do is to clean out the siphon tubes, the metering jets, and rejetting (because I'll be using a K&N filter/drilled airbox and baffled drag pipes).

I'm just hoping that there's nothing else wrong with it. It has no battery in it right now, so I can't test electrical system. With any luck the engine is still sealed up tight and none of the varnish leaked past the carbs.
