If you mean that the bowl is going dry after sitting for some while, gas can only be going a few places. Past a faulty power valve or accelerator pump. One other unlikely situation would be a cracked bowl casting. Time for a thorough cleaning and carb kit. The last one I bought at AZ was only $14. Dont loose the parts taken out. Coat cover gasket with a light dressing of white grease to aid in future removal without gasket sticking and breaking.

Behind the accelerator pump diaphram (C4AZ9B559A/Motorcraft CM463) is the accelerator pump's check valve (C4AZ9576A/Motorcraft CM825).
The check valve has a tiny tit on it that fits into a hole in the carb body. The tit disintigrates, gas then flows out of the hole, past the accelerator pump, past its outer cover and out the carb.
