Somehow it looses gas during longer shutdowns. I checked it again today and found no leaks or signs of leaks at the carbs but did find a tiny amount of fuel on the top of the pump. Mine has 6 screws holding the top half on the pump body and all needed about 1/8 turn to fully tighten. My pump has a silver colored metal "lid" held in place by a single 3/8" head bolt. That may have been where the line leaked down from the carbs. I agree that if the carbs do in fact have "bowls" (may not), there should be fuel in them to start with. They show absolutely no signs of leakage and if they are sealed, evaporation from within doesn't seem possible. I bought the carbs new from Tom Langdon so I will call him to see if he has a clue about my problem.
