Ben,

All that is happening is your accelerator pump plunger is drying out when your car sits for a while. When you are ready to use your car fill the carb up with gas by brunning the fuel pump a day prior to starting it and this will swell up the plunger and the accelerator pump will work again. The racing gas is very dry especially C-11. When your car is sitting fill the carb regularly to stop the drying out this will solve your problem. I have the same problem on my super stocker. Dont get to race enough.
