I finally got to try and start my car last night, I poured 5 gallons of gas into the tank, a little in the carb and lo and behold she fired right up, unfortunately it quit as soon as the carb went dry, I kept putting a little gas in the carbuerator and it would fire and run out, do I need to prime the lines?? if so what is the best way to do this?? everything is brand new and it is a mechanical fuel pump any tips and tricks are gratefully appreciated!!!

Thanks,
