Gasoline evaporates; if it didn't, none of our cars would run. After sitting all winter it is OK to prime the carbs. I have an old ketchup squirt bottle with gas in it. I fill the float bowls through the vent after they have been sitting for any extended period of time and they start right up. If your cars are in good shape (as the O/P's seem to be), electric fuel pumps are an unnecessary complication. I took mine off 20 years ago and am happy I did.
