Priming Quadrajet

I have a particular Quadrajet that no matter which truck I put it on, I have to prime it by pouring gas into it to get it to start. It then runs fine, and will start again if I restart it within a few hours. I can get it to start by copious pedal pumping and cranking, but it is difficult. I just rebuilt it, and it performs great, but in the morning, I am best off popping the hood, pouring in some gas, then cranking. Is there a solution?
