No real benefit to that ... ZS carbs don't have accelerator pumps like other
carbs did.  But it's a good idea to hold the throttle open while pulling the
choke, to ease operation of the fast idle cam.

Makes me wonder if one of your float bowls is leaking somehow, enough to
empty when the car sits for a long time.

Not sure how you'd check for that, other than dragging a finger on the
bottom of the bowl and seeing if it comes away smelling like gas.
