So i kept flooding my engine by priming my carb with the fuel bottle..I thought theres gotta be an easier way... So i got two kids so i have plenty of those oral syringes for giving medicine..

They work perfect for just the couple of drops you need...i just draw a lil into it from the tank after i fill it up..

You can also plug the exhaust and turn the engine over a few times to prime carb. Works like a charm and starts on the first pull 90% of the time. Watch the fuel get sucked out of the tank and stop just when it gets to the carb.

That way you aren't removing the air filter every time you start the engine.
 
My engine is still new so its still tight when i pull it..kinda hard to hold tip of muffler and the car down while pulling without me ripping my muffler off...I've done it once already..
i do however blow into the muffler line to prime the fuel lines..
