Pull the fuel line off either the tank or carb and you can fiddle with it all you want without flooding the engine.

I know the OP is done with the zip-tie mod now, but thought I'd say this anyway...

I'd disconnect the fuel line at the carb, cause then you can also drain the excess fuel out of the carb, before you shoot it into the engine...:thumbsup:
