Starting after sitting a while

So, I get home from Brazil, hug the kids and wife, then want to take a ride. Problem is the phat lady doesn't want to cooperate. She'll turn over but doesn't want to fire. Plus, I've got raw gas dripping out my left exhaust. I pulled the left side plugs and they were wet, obviously. She turns over just fine, just does not want to fire off? Stuck floats maybe? Gas was shut off while she sat for 60+ days. Any thing else I should take a look at? It's too dark to mess with it tonight so I just covered her up and will let her sit overnight.
Any advice is appreciated.  :(

Sounds like the battery may be on the weak side.  Put it on the charger awhile before you try to start it again...or jump it with a non running car.. bet it will fire right up.

Thanks Old....tried that. She just spins and drips gas out the left exhaust. Gonna let her sit overnight. I'm guessing she's pretty flooded out. Maybe let all that gas evaporate and try again in the morning.

And yeah, the battery was dead when I got home. I left so fast for Brazil I forgot to connect it to the tender. What perplexes me is that she was running fine before I left. Did nothing other than park her in the garage and cover her up.

Solved...she's idling outside as I write this. Put her on the quick charge cycle while I pulled, cleaned and re-gapped the plugs. Fired right up. Must have been like Old said...battery so dead she was pissed at me for letting that happen. THANKS OLD!
