I think you can assume that you have an air leak in the fuel system. It 
walks like an air leak, it talks like an air leak...

One way to test this is to try priming the fuel system before you 
startup after a night with the engine off. If it then starts and runs 
without the problem of stopping, you have pretty well proven that it is 
a fuel problem.

Whatever the source of the air, it is a pretty small leak. It may be 
aggravating to find.
