Like the title says. I'm getting ready to break-in a new cam and would like to minimize cranking before the engine fires up.

Do I just pour a measured amount of gas down the vent tubes? Should I add gas to both the primary and secondary bowls?

Yep, about 2 ~3 oz, work the throttle only till you hear it squirt.

Both bowls? Only if it's a DP and then it's not really needed.
