Today's gas will vanish from the float bowls in about 4 days if that. It is VERY prone to evaporate more so than fuel in the past. With a 911 we are lucky because we all have electric fuel pumps so as soon as you hit the key you have filled the float bowls.

The poor guys running a 356 need a helper external pump. Another cool way to do it is put a outboard motor inline hand pump bulb where it can be reached to prime the float bowls or just crank it and hope the battery lasts........
