My car has been in storage for 6 months
I planned to drive it home on Tuesday. Stopped by to see if battery needed
charging. Turned key, all systems lit up, pump slowed, tried starting. Car
started on 2nd try. Ran it for about 5 min. Turned off, found puddle of gas
under car and saw gas dripping from manifold tube. Sticky jet or other
issue?
Suggestions appreciated.
Happy Spring.
We have a 5 day sun forcast

Almost certainly a dirt in a float chamber float valve but can be a float
that has gone down ( like the Titanic but smaller).
I  would see if it goes away when you start the engine before doing
anything else.
To be sure take off the chamber lid and check the float ... they do
occasionally develop leaks at the seams.
