Gaz64 has it right. You said if the car sits for a short time it is difficult to start. I'll bet if it sits for more than a short time it will start right up. That would be after the excess fuel evaporates in the runners and plenum.
If the above is the situation you will need to find a way to keep the carb cooler and or the fuel.

A plastic or wood spacer
Reroute the fuel line or get if away/off of hot spots
Turkey pan
Electric fuel pump with a return line
Lower fuel in bowl like what was said (keep it in the sight glass)
