If I were you, I would:
1. Remove carb and blow it out using compressed air and denatured ***
as a solvent. If it sat for awhile it might have gummed up.
2. Replace all fuel and exhaust line.
3. Deep six the gas tank in a bowl of water and check for leaks by plugging
the feed line and blowing into the pressure line.
4. Check all head gasket screws for tightness.
5. Check header screws and header gasket for damage.
6. Check exhaust coupler (between manifold and pipe) for leaks.
7. Check engine backplate for leaks.
HTH,
