Getting ready to start the 55 bird for the first time in 20 years.  Carb was rebuilt.  Pistons lubed.  How to prime the float bowl?  I don't see a float bowl vent tube where I can put fuel in with eye dropper.  Thanks, Charlie.

Just squirt some gas down the carb

Probably late with this but maybe it will help someone else.  To prefill the carburetor, you can pour fuel in the top cover plate cavity around the air cleaner studs.  That will get fuel to the bowl.
