I take a small funnel and put the end in the rubber line, it just perfectly fits. I pour gas in the funnel from a mason jar. I usually put about half a quart down the line. Connect fuel hose, pour a tad in the carb, and it fires right up. Don't know how stupid this technique is, but it always works for me.
Wow nice I like it haha way to get creative
