Yes, after 4 or 5 days the fuel in the carb can evapaorate enough to be low. I usually don't pour gas in, but do have to crank a while to get gas up. I crank in 5 second intervals to not overheat the starter. Depending on how long the car has sat, may need to do that two or three times. Choke fully closed while cranking creates a vacuum in the carb to help pull in fuel.
Kube has advised to close the choke all the way when parking for storage, as that may delay evaporation somewhat.
