Hard starting after setting several days, suspect fuel bowl boil out after driving. The best solution or solutions to help? On a 65 GS Skylark 401.

Arthur. Had the same problem. The accelerator pump leather was gone. Rebuilt the carb with a new pump and the problem was solved.

Sound like a good idea to rebuild since it has been decades since I last rebuilt. I read in one of the documents where this problem was noticed early by GM and they were talking about composite base gaskets as a source of heat transfer. I will change out to a non composite gasket when with the rebuild. thanks for the input
