Lately if my cuda sits for a week, it won't start until l pour some gas down the carb. It;s a 650 Holly. A mechanic told me that the gas was running back to tank.He suggested putting a electic pump at the tank.Any suggestions on this would help.
 
i had the same problem with my holley 600. i left the brand new stock fuel pump in its place and plumbed, then i added a 5-7 psi carter electric pump near the tank wired up to the ignition and it worked wonders, i let the pump run a few seconds then she fires right up no matter how long it sits.
 
The thing I can't understand is that up until now she would start right up even left for a month. the only thing that has changed is a new starter
 
Maybe a back flow check valve in the fuel pump or fuel filter stopped working ?
Maybe there isn't one and a small air leak is letting the fuel drain back.
Just guessing.
