Something is leaking. Turn on the ignition. Slowly press the accelerator pedal to the floor and release. The gas from the accelerator pump is enough to start the car. I have gone 4 months without starting my Cobra, and it starts up immediately.

Fix the leak(s). Squirting gas in a carb is dangerous! At least using a dropper and putting it into the bowl vent is safer, but the gas in the accelerator pump should not evaporate in 3 weeks. No way!
