Default 2002 500, Hard to start.

Ok, a friend has a 2002 ish magnum 500, he was climbing up a small hill and started spinning the tires, he backed up to get another run and it stalled out. This thing would not start at all had good spark as far as I could tell with my finger, fuel was dripping out the bottom of the carb, after tapping it fuel stopped dripping but it would not start, we killed the battery and jumped it of mine, after about 45 mins it fired, but ran really rough.

Any help on this or any ideas would be a huge help,

Thanks
