Default Long cranking on 2nd and 3rd start

Hi,

im new on this forum, and came here looking for some outside input on my 81 245.

starts great in the morning, on the second startbof the day it cranks 10+ times to sart. Then if theres a third time it takes even longer..

This all started after i replaced the fuel lines and new fuel pump. This car also doesnt have a filter, only the in tank screen, which seems weird to me, but i was told its not abnormal.

Could it be the tank vent not functioning properly, which sucks the fuel out of the lines?

any suggestions are greatly appreciated
