Post subject:  Fuel check valve

I drive my 61 Valiant about once every 2 weeks on a club run and it is hard to start as the fuel has drained back to the fuel tank (I think).

If I drive it daily, say on a 5 day tour, it starts easily each day.

I am thinking of installing a 5/16" fuel check valve in the flexible fuel line just before the fuel pump.

Any pros or cons on the installation?

It's actually the fuel evaporating out of the carb.................

Ok.

How can you stop the fuel evaporation?

depending on the carb, it could be fuel draining into the manifold.
