I wouldn't mind a third 'primer line', if that's what it takes, but I'm at a loss of where to attach it, or what to add to make it work.
I didn't know anything except the very basics of Walbro carbs, so I googled up a "how do they work". Here is one of the many links returned:

I don't currently have any problems with my gas carbs, so I didn't read the entire explanation. I did keep it for the future. Maybe there is a clue in the article that lets you know how to open up the pump chamber and get fuel in when you have the problem you have. Good luck. I will be looking for your solution.
