I am inclined to agree with Mikael in that the carb wasn't set up properly to begin with. And then after not driving it the fuel in the bowls dried up. When they are totally dry you can sometimes have to put fuel down the carb a second time after starting it on the first, as the fuel pump did not have time to get the fuel to the bowl. I have had to do this quite a few times.
