Sat dry? Or when you let it sit did it still have gas in it?
Gas these days goes bad in less than 6 months. Bought a car off a buddy to fix and flip, it only sat 7 months. First fire up it idled like garbage. Had to run injector cleaner and a fresh tank through it before idle cleaned up.
If it sat dry. I would still check it. Seals and such dry up, there could be something caught somewhere. Once again, this is assuming you've double checked choke/high idle for proper operation.
