You can open the drain valve until clear fresh gas comes out, close it then pull normally.
Are you sure? It has a fuel pump. I would think the only way is to pull and pull. Other than to pressurize the tank, or to squirt a little some into the carb inlet.
I don't think so either. I put the engine switch in the
ON position, leave the fuel cap vent lever in the
OFF position, and shake or rock the gen set side to side vigorously for about 10 seconds. This rocking causes the gas to expand and push itself into the carburetor. Now turn the fuel cap vent lever to the
ON positions, set the CHOKE to
FULL ON and PULL once; Wait 10 seconds, PULL again. Mine usually starts. If not wait another 10 seconds and PULL again.

Edit: I noted that the engine switch needs to be in the
ON position while shaking the gen set.
