Main well plugs are leaking and causing fuel bleed off after it sits. Accelerator pumps are usually most noticible after it's running and creates a bog or stumble. You need to pull the throttle plate off and tap the pewter lead seal around the plugs to reseal as the factory did. Small ball been hammer works well and I mean small. Don't want you to damage the body. If you wish, after you peen them use a gas resistant epoxy to give a better seal. On a few occassions I have found a leak in the fuel line causing a drain back by siphon action because the rollover valve in the filter was missing or never was installed allowing siphoning. If the choke is still attached, please set it correctly for your engine. As 65ny stated you need to double check accel pump for stroke and make mke sure the hole the rod slips into is correct for the fuel squirt your engine wants.
