Re: annoying inconsequential matter
You gas filter isn't lined up right would be my guess.
The filter has two outlets. The center outlet goes to the carb and the
top outlet goes to the return line.
If the return line isn't at the top, gas will syphon back to the tank
when it sits.
Your return line is likely level with the center outlet so when it gets
on an angle, it syphons.

It could also be the check valve at the electric fuel pump, or the presure
regulator. Or, if it's an MB, it could have cosmoline in the needle valve.
