Quadrajet carburetor problems!

My '85 has a quadrajet and if it sit more than a day it has to crank a long time before it wil start. I have always had Holleys or Eldelbrock carbs and if you pumped it one time, it would fire as soon as the thing turned over. If you pump this quad., it acts like there ain't a bit of gas in the carb. I know a lot about holleys, but this one I am in the dark. You can pump the crap out of it and it acts as if there is no gas in the carb. Do these things have a check valve in them that allows the gas to siphon back out if it is bad or something? I know there is a quadrajet nut out there that has the answer to this question. Thanks for the help in advance.
