85 z28 cold start problem

85 z28, 305 tpi, automatic, all stock.

if my car sits for more than 2 hours i have to crank on it for about 45 seconds total before it starts, then i can smell raw fuel, then its fine until it sits again. im wondering if its losing prime on the fuel system.

it may be flooding from the start, let cool down disconnect the MAF not sure if this will work but its easy enough to try.
