Yes, today's gasoline is more volatile and thus more prone to evaporation. My carb also runs dry in a week or so, but I've viewed the few extra cranks of the engine as a positive, as I have oil pressure and distribution before the engine starts. It hasn't had much of an affect on battery life, they (6 volt) still seem to last 5-6 years.
