Looking down the carb I don't see any gas being shot when I actuate the throttle after it sits for a day or two.
After about a 10 second crank the car fires up.

Fuel bowls empty?

Rebuild time?

Thanks Ben

 

Yes the fuel wells are leaking internal and drain the carb after sitting. There is a spongy gasket in rebuild kits that seals these. It goes between the throtle plate front and center section to seal it. Some people use epoxy to seal them also.

 

Where is the best place to source a rebuild kit for this carb? I'm located in Ontario?

 

I buy them at NAPA.

There are other reasons for the fuel bowl being low/dry after several days. According to Joe P the leaky well plugs was an issue with the early (60s) QJets and not so much with the later ones.
