Good Morning...Just a bit of experience here...Our 49 288 will start up right now if she is driven every day or every other day. If Miss Prudence sits for a week or longer...She takes four (4) eight second cranks to start. The open fuel system will dry out the fuel line all the way to the tank...that is more than ten feet of sucking for the fuel pump to suck fuel up to the pump and then push it into the carburetor...Just another thought...Prudence is a chubby chick, but she is popular when I take her out for breakfast...Ernie in Arizona
