There is a vacuum saftey petcock on these in addition to the lever petcock on the tank we're all familiar with.  The vacuum one works OK once the carbs are filled up/etc as there will still be fuel in there, but when the carbs are dry it can be a PITA to get them filled up again.  Usually more starter time than a fully charged battery will turn the motor over.  You can remove the vacuum petcock, and just use the manual one on the tank.  I left mine on.  If you blow on the right vacuum line you can get the bowls to prime.
