Need to check fuel pressure with a fuel PSI. gauge. I would give you the specs. on fuel pressure, But you did not say what you are working on.
I would CHECK the FUEL FILTER First. Remove it and make sure that you can blow through it. I would tell you where that is, But I don't know the year.
As long as the engine is running, this is normal.

a long time
I had exactly the same problem with my 1996 Dodge Intrepid. The fuel pressure regulator was leaking which caused flooding of the engine if the engine were off for the right length of time. Too short and the engine did not have time to flood. Too long and the fuel evaporates and engine is no longer flooded. Just right and the engine is flooded and hard to start.
From the start of time, about 13.8 billion years.
The engine is 1735 mm by 1650 mm. The engine can hold up to 2.5 liter which can fuel the car for long periods of time. This engine is a very good engine considering everything.
If the fuel pump is losing pressure while it sits, I've seen this happen...a long warm crank time... cheapest thing to do is try a new fuel filter, and tune..etc.. Dave
a long time
i think that engines stall because of the lack of fuel. pretend the engine was on idle, it is using a small amount of fuel and that fuel is going though a cavity that directs the fuel to the cylinder. when you suddenly increase the throttle, there is more air making the fuel burn faster. but for a split second, the same amount of fuel is moving through the cavity. the engine quickly burns that fuel up and for a little bit there is no fuel, until the flow of fuel catches up. but sometimes the amount of time that there is little or no fuel is too long and the engine dies.
When it takes a car a long time to accelerate, the car may need a tune-up. Also, the fuel injectors may need to be cleaned or replaced, or the fuel pump could be going bad, or the fuel pressure is too low.
To start a small generator engine that has been sitting for a long time, first check and change the oil if necessary, as old oil can cause damage. Next, inspect the fuel system; drain any stale fuel and replace it with fresh fuel mixed with a fuel stabilizer. Ensure the spark plug is clean or replace it if needed, and check the air filter for dirt. Finally, turn on the fuel valve, set the choke, and attempt to start the engine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
It won't run without fuel. If it ran dry it may take some time to get to the engine.
