Do note  that the carburetor float bowls are vented to atmosphere and over 
a period of  days or weeks of non-use, the fuel in the float bowls will  
evaporate.

When this happens it will take some extra cranking of the  engine before it 
will start as the fuel pump needs to re-fill the float  bowls.
 
This is another reason I went to an electric fuel pump. By letting it  run 
for a minute, it primes up the carb bowls and the car is ready to start.  
And, once the engine is warmed it, it'll re-start just like FI does. : )
