I have exactly the same issue, if it's an issue. New OEM fuel pump and filter, all new fuel lines, stock AISIN carb. If the truck sits without being started for 3 or more days, there's little or no fuel in the sight glass and I have to prime the carb in order to start. After priming, all is well until the truck sits for a few days, then I have to prime again. Between laziness and the fact that I don't know jack about carbs, I haven't been motivated to attempt any type of adjustment.
