76Stingray

My 1976 Stingray is only allowed out of the house on the weekends, so after a full weekend of driving and tinkering with no starting issues whatsoever, she sits in the garage and rests until Friday night comes around. I have to pump the gas and crank the engine many many times before she fires up. Once she's started that first time, I never have any problems the rest of the weekend. She always starts right up on the first crank. What's going on here? What is happening over the course of five days that makes it hard to start on Friday nights? All that cranking isn't good for the starter, battery, etc... I have had several suggestions ranging from the fuel pump to the carbuerator. Any advice from someone that has actually had the same problem would be greatly appreciated.
