Larry  mentioned replacing rubber hoses. Not sure that will solve your 
problems,  but he is right about the carb bowls going dry over an extended 
park.  Takes time to refill the bowls. An electric pump would solve this.
Oh, not  sure WHY the bowls go dry.

It might be that simple evaporation of the fuel in the carb bowls would do  
it.  In the absence of an electric pump, he might loosen the bolt that  holds 
the stock fuel pump to the engine--but not remove it-- and pump the pump  up 
and down by hand to get fuel to the carbs.
