    Get it fired up. Thanks for the input... Kellyw.

    If you do put a very small amount, those motors are not designed for a lot of pressure and you sure would not want it to blow up.

    Pulling the air filter and putting a drip or two of mixed fuel is probably a better idea. Set your chain break and hold the throttle in the "open" position. If it dies continue the process it should start to pull fuel.
    Good Luck
