Sure it started reluctantly the first time, but it didn't develop any fuel system problem.

The battery was taken out and put on a trickle charger.
Did you close the fuel petcock before storing for long periods of time? I'll bet that can save you from a gummed up carb. Last year I had to open up jets that were completely restricted due to sitting for 2 years. The original owner laid it down within the first 40 miles, got scared, and parked it.
