Cold start problems

My 1920 Holley was just rebuilt. And my car does run better.
But mine needs pumped about 7 times when it has been sitting. After it has been run, and restarted later in the day, it still needs three pumps to start.
My pull off works. I think my springy thing, that goes to the manifold is probably shot.
Mine even still has a "slight" hesitation pulling out, but not enough to bug me.
