Smitty is not often misunderstood, IMO.  I understand his reasoning and 
though I do agree, this isn't a Me Too post.

If the only reason one is "charging" a fuel pump is to get some gas into the 
carbs before starting a "dry" engine,  I would like to offer 2 possible 
solutions for non YH carbs.

1. A SMALL amount of gas (about enough to fill a small plastic cap, like 
from motor oil) can be poured down the carb throats. just try to keep your 
face away from the carbs in case of backfire.
2. Seafoam DEEP CREEP penetrant works great as a starting fluid.  NO ETHER 
to blow back in your face, or bend pushrods, and it works just as good on a 
lawn mower as it does a Corvair.

Seafoam products are usually available at most BIG A auto parts stores, as 
well as NAPA



Just my .02, your mileage and results may vary.
