Well, that's a good thought, but... both bowls were empty, and I don't have a PV for my secondaries.

The primary bowl has to fill up a bit -- for the past decade I've usually just cranked it, and cranked it, and cranked it. Spritzing a little gas down the primary will certainly help, but filling the bowls up is even better. Filling it up via the sight plugs is best, since you can't overfill. But filling it via the vents is just as good. Actually, an electric pump is the best way.
