"Do not try this at home"..... BUT, we started my motor in the go-kart stage by simply tying a 1 gallon tin to the roof and gravity feeding the carb. No fuel pump at all. The feed line was braided hose, and it was offset from the chassis by about 6 feet, so no chance of a backfire setting the place alight. We had no plans on driving it like that, or even giving it a big rev. We simply wanted to ensure that there was fire in the holes. Worked perfectly, and took all of 5 minutes to rig up.
