I've read on another web site (and believe it now that I have an edelbrock) that because the fuel bowls are on the smallish side, evaporation/drain off happens after sitting.

If I leave mine for more than a week, I have to crank it to get the fuel back up to the carb. Anything inside of a week, and it fires right up.

Everything on my engine is less than 3k miles old, and I have no fuel leaks so perhaps it has something to do with the vented gas cap.

Good luck!

May be the edelbrock then. I never had troubles as long as I had a Holley. May have to get the Holley and new pump on soon!
