And all this time I thought I was just missing a check-valve or something.
I always turn the key on/off a bunch of times - each time the fuel pumps 
runs for a second and shuts off. Eventually I hear bubbling sounds in the 
gas tank which usually indicates that the fuel lines are full and it's ready 
to start - at that point it usually starts first or second try.
