Cloudancer,

Make sure your fuel tank is lower than the top of the carb. If you can't do that use a fuel dot or Kwik Fill and mount it as low as you can on the firewall. Then dremel out a big enough hole in the cowling to fuel the plane. This method prevents having to remove anything to take off the cowling. Except of course the spinner and prop. It will prevent flooding the engine also.
