Hot starting question

my edelbrock carb does the same, and if you let it sit for longer than a week or two without starting it takes a fair bit of pumping the pedal to get er to go.

Buddy has a autolite (holley) on his mustang and didn't start it all winter, it fired up on try just touching the key....... My engine took quite a bit of coaxing after sitting over the winter.

Maybe its just the carb design.
