Just enough gas to get it started, two tablespoons at a time, and don't forget to use the choke and close the butterfly since it's cold now. Don't just sit there are crank the motor and put gas in it, as this can cause piston ring damage. If it won't fire up and stay running, something is wrong. My way would be to have someone to dribble a small amount in the carb when you start it...make sure they wear a full face motorcycle helmet, nomex gloves at minimum, and only have a small amount of gas (1/2 cup or so) in their bottle or pouring container.
I am actually really leery about starting a newly rebuilt motor with my own timing and such, because of this. Maybe it's why I wanted my cobra to be a turnkey, this time I want everything just right, no disappointments
