Agree that the system is simply bleeding down and or evaporating. This is not good on carb or pump. As others have said it's easy to change the pump out with just 2 bolts and taking the lines off. But as others have said the rod likes to slide down, but will add if the rod doesn't want to go back up in after taking the pump off you simply need to bump the starter a tad and the cam will get of the high side and the rod will go further back up. On the other hand a good fix would be to take the time and go out and start this vehicle once a month and you will keep the system from bleeding back down. This will keep the gaskets and the diaphrams (sp) wet which is needed. With you stating that once it gets started it starts easily I would say there is nothing wrong with either the pump or the carb, it just needs to be started more often.
