take the pressure line off the exausht and blow into the one end until you see fuel.if this wasn't clear let me try this disconnect the exausht end of the pressure line and bow into it and you should see fuel go into the engine,this is how i prime mine i got a drill starter

i did 8 tanks because i like to be on the safe side. and i was kidding about the cancer thing although i'm sure its not good for you to get fuel in your mouth...why would you blow in the fuel line when you could just put your finger over the exhuast??

Keep it out of the mud until you deal your RX and servos, unless you think runaways are cool.

6 tanks before you start to lean it out for running temps, 6 tanks before any sustained wide open throttle blasts of significant duration...
