Do you have an aluminium primer button on the fuel tank ? They will normally start up with the fuel in the carb bowl and this will build up the pressure. You can also start it up by gravity letting the fuel run from a bottle held above the engine down a fuel line to the carb.
Also make sure the flywheel is fully tightened down or it will cut the keyway "how do I know that" :oops: :D

Around 40 - 45 lbs should do it.
