As is always appropriate - read Jerry's advice carefully.
IF I am going to prime with gas/fluid, I usually squirt a little down the throat, with the choke wide open.
Then, set the choke almost fully closed, and crank with a little "throttle-down".
If my advice is off, we will see corrections posted quickly.
I've been successfully starting stovebolt 216/235/261 engines this way for 50 years.
