The carb is not flooding like it would if I had to hold the throttle down to start it.

I have a 1970 c10 with a 383/700R4, 600 edelbrock carb, mechanical fuel pump.

Any ideas of how to fix it?
If my truck sits for a long period of time it takes longer to start. Gas bleeds back to the tank, usually a week though.
When it won't start go to carb and manually give it gas at carb.
Gas squirt out down carb? Should be able to see it.
Choke shutting properly at cold start ?
Start with the simple basics first then report back
