I have similar problems and I think the carb is leaking, but so far have not got to check it out.

Also if I let mine sets over-night it will not start until I spray some starting fluid in the carb.

I have heard that Q-jets are prone to leaks, but don't know for sure.

Yes, some Qjets are prone to leaking. The link on my post above shows where they leak and what to do about it.

Here's a pic.
