One possible explanation for this is a worn distributor shaft/bushing. Hook
up a timing light and look at how much the timing mark wanders around.

Sure doesn't take much of a leak to empty the bowls overnight. Mine is
currently doing exactly the same thing, but the rear jet is damp with gas
when the bowls are full. Not dripping, just damp. As already suggested,
try filling the bowls with the priming lever. If it then starts easy, you
know where the problem is.
