Default DLE and others DRY Carbs?

I've asked this years ago, I think, but my CRS is getting bad with my age....I have three or four gas-engine setup airframes, DLE 20, 30, 50, RCG 26, etc.

For a number of reasons, I have had them retired for a couple years, dry, empty tank, standing nose down in their places.
LAST time I did similar, I had to pull cowlings, carbs, re-wet the innards of the Walbro or DLE carbs, reassemble, and they ran like champs.
This spring, I'm wondering if someone has a magic method of getting gas INTO the carb innards, so the pump diaphragm and needle/seat will work like they're supposed to....without me needing to disassemble and manually wet all the parts.

Anyone have a magic trick? Like pressurizing the tank, choke on, full throttle till pulls gas? Or installing some kind of primer line into the carb itself? ANYONE???
