trucker,
my old 360 requires alot of pumping to get fuel up if it has sat more than a couple of days. It is still the old mechanical fuel pump. I didn't catch if yours drained out right away or is like mine... ok for a few days but then needs pumping.

Mine is ok for maybe an hour, After starting I can shut it off wait 5 mins and it will start before a half turn of the engine let it sit for a hour and it will fire at first because there is gas inside the pump that is in the carb, Just enough for one squirt of gas and then the bowl and gas line is empty and it will have to crank until the gas is pumped back up from the tank.
