If I leave my '55 for more than a couple of days without starting it I notice the fuel has drained back from the filter between the carb and the mechanical fuel pump. This means that I have to crank the engine for a long time to get the fuel through. I have an Edelbrock 600cfm carb with manual choke. I would have thought that there would still be fuel in the carb to fire it. I don't remember the Holley vac/sec 600cfm carb I used to have having this problem.
This is on a 327 small block. Is there an in-line non-return valve I could put between the pump and filter or is there something else I could try?
