Started Mini up for the first time in 3 weeks, and seem to be getting fuel out of the carb overflow. What could cause that?

It's like a stop *******. There are 3 screws on top of the float chamber. Have a Google and check it out. You sometimes just get grit in the valve and it doesn't shut off the fuel supply so it just overflows.

I had a look 10 mins after turning the car off, and everything on the carb seemed bone dry. Could it have just been some condensation that I seen dripping from it?

That frustrated feeling when the jump starter just dies at the same moment the engine just tries to fire up. Then after recharging the jump starter the mini fires up first try of the key only to then slowly die a few minutes later, after realising there might not have been as much fuel in the project mini as first thought.
