That bike (the VX) was charming but had to make way for the S4R: chalk and cheese, I reckon!

For my recent refill, i took out the plugs and spun it for a while till petrol smell appeared in the cylinders. Took a fair wee bit of time to prime it. The battery would never have lasted with the compression on it.
I thought about your idea of the tee spur-ed into the line past the pump but ended up not doing it.
