I do that currently with my Jeep. That's why I'm going to install one of those electric pumps. :whistling:If you are going through the trouble of opening the hood, just fill the primary float bowl with gas via the vent.My car will sit for a month or so. I had the same problem as you. I solved it with a bottle of starting fluid. I spray some into the air cleaner and it fires right up. The higher RPMs gets the mechanical pumping enough to get the fuel flowing again.
It will idle for a while like that....plenty enough time to prime the pump and have it take over.
