Rochester 4GCs are vented to the atmosphere. If my 400 sat for two weeks or longer I had to crank it a good while and keep pumping the accelerator to get it started. I checked more than once and the bowl was empty. I didn't think it drained back - it just evaporated.
My '55 Patrician sat for about a month and a half in my garage while I was hor d' combat. When I finally went out to check on it, after three accelerator pumps, she still started so fast I almost couldn't release the key fast enough.
Of course the fact that there has been almost 100% humidity and winter like temperatures in Portland during that time might have had something to do it.
