Today's fuel evaporates at lower temperatures than fuel of 60 years ago. It isn't even the same fuel as it was 20 years ago.
I've had fuel completely evaporate from a carburetor fuel bowl in as little as 30 minutes.
As long as your fuel pump is working, it will take a few seconds to get fuel up into the carburetor before your engine starts.
Make sure all of your rubber hoses are clamped tight. I don't use rubber fuel lines connected to steel lines unless they have crimped fittings and can be threaded to the steel lines.
