Do I just give it a good pull? Also does anyone know the factory setting on the air screw for the Mikuni carb? It is very boggy...

Fuel line coming off the tank has a filter next in line is a fuel pump off that the line has a T valve with one line running up to the primer switch then off the primer switch down to the fitting between the carb and intake and the other line off the T feeds fuel directly to the carb.

I'm new to this stuff, just found this '80 trailfire sitting in storage since 1993, pulled the carb an...
