Assuming the GP light isn't on.....Fire it up and look for air bubbles, weeping on top of the IP (DV's), or a wetness around the shutoff valve. Give it some thottle (~1500rpm) while looking for bubbles; are sometimes easier to see when they travel faster and there are more of them due to increased fuel demand. Guessing something dried out while sitting so long.
