Hot starting question

Brambles said
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.

Identical findings here also.

Holley carb solved my problem. Hot or cold, sit for weeks at at time...starts right up.

Almost sounds like an air lock problem in the bowls. Maybe plugged air bleeds?

I think the difference with the Holley is the bowls are on the ends instead of directly on top of a hot intake????
