The first place to start is by making sure you have new or near new flexible fuel lines from the tank to the frame lines, and from the frame lines to the engine.
They all develop air leaks after a few years and will allow the fuel to bleed back to the tank. Then you purge the fuel system and all is good until the next time you shut down and let it set for a while.
