'Suck fuel through to carburetors'. What does that mean - detach the hose and put your lips on it and suck? If so, your fuel pump needs repair or replacement. There are check valves in the pump that should prevent drainback when shut down. Also, normally on shutdown there would be fuel left in the float bowls that would quick facilitate restart. Are your float bowls empty after the car has been sitting for 'a few days'? If so, you need to find out where the fuel is going because the leak may be compounding your starting problem.
