Awhile, like a week or a month? If it is a long period of time you could just be loosing fuel in the fuel bowl due to evaporation so there isn't any available for the accelerator pump to give the first squirt. If it is not a long period like a month or more you may have a worn gasket on the accelerator pump piston, a carburetor rebuild kit should fix your problem then. Have you tried just a little amount of fuel instead of starter fluid? If that does the job as well then I would look at the gasket.
