I thought a run out in a seven might be nice. After asking my daughter for permission. I decided to go in hers. Its stood for about 8 weeks after a plug change. And wouldn't fire. In danger of a flat battery I put petrol down all 4 plug holes it fired instantly. Hmm.
Hedd, I have a 1950's Austin that behaves like that. Use it every day and there's no problem. Leave it ten days or a few weeks and it cranks an awful long time before starting. A desert spoonful of petrol in the air intake and it starts first time.
