Well stated. I had the same experience with a small rust spot under
a clamp. Not wet. Not much rust. but the car started fine after I
cut it out. Michaels's observation that the fuel seems to flow to
the filter as the air leaks in indicates the return line.
One 115 chassis 300D I bought a long time ago was sold with a dis-assembled
engine because it was hard to start. I transferred the factory re-man engine
I had in a rusting out car to it, and surprise - it was suddenly hard to
start! I found a small place where the steel fuel line had been rubbing
against the frame. I had rubbed a pin hole through the line. I never saw a
leak, it was not wet, but was enough to make the car very hard to start
after it sat overnight. I cut he section and inserted a few inches of fuel
hose, and the problem was solved.
I don't know if this can be related to your issue or not, but I'd check
every inch of the feed fuel line.

Steel pipes and car are very good condition with minimal rust.
