  1. Gotta love forums like these. Terrific source for gobs of information. I'm trying to get my 750 to fire on a "IV" fuel line. (gas tank's no good.) Any tips? Ok, here's what I did - Used a piece of 1/4" clear plastic fuel hose to hook to the carbs (one per carb) about 10 inches long. Then I pushed the open end(s) each into a chunk of 3/8 id fuel rated hose, which became my "gas tank". Then, using a turkey baster (one of those long white plastic ones with a rubber squeeze ball on the end), I sucked up a load of (clean) gas. The tip of the baster fits perfectly into the 3/8 hose. I let the fuel gravity drain into the bowls (took about 3 "basters" each before they began to show signs of being close to full - that's what the clear hose is for. I tied them upright to the backbone, and hit the starter. After a couple of sneezes, she fired right up! Now, I just need a tank!
