What happens here

Due to a rusted-through original fuel tank, a temporary fuel system is set up. This involves a small red plastic gasoline can (labeled 'GASOLINE') acting as a temporary fuel tank, connected via a hose to a G&B #42S Micro Electric Fuel Pump (2-3.5 PSI, 28 GPH). Pour gasoline from a larger red gasoline can into the temporary fuel tank. Then, pour a small amount of gasoline directly into the carburetors bowls to prime the engine for an initial start.

Goal: Provide fuel to the engine for initial starting attempts.
