SXR500 trouble starting?

I have a 2000 SXR500 that tends to have trouble starting after sitting for more than a couple of weeks. I found that if I tip the sled on its side and gravity drain some fuel back into the lines, it starts right away. There is no fuel shutoff on it, and am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problems.

I'm having the same problem on my Mach Z. I think it's the fuel pump letting the fuel drain back into the tank.
