Thinking out loud, I can imagine two possible causes, but this is not from hard experience.

First, it's plausible that some longer duration off time, the carb takes longer to get 'wet'. Fuel should be in the bowl, but maybe it does evaporate slowly? Fuel lines may or may not drain back to tank, etc. Choke adjustment could come into play.

A second thought is that with an OPSS, after an extended off period, it may take longer for oil to fill and pressurize in the oil galleys. This would tend to amplify the first scenario....
