I have read that unleaded fuel "goes off" over time, so if you are leaving the car for an extended period, you are best to drain the tank and then use fresh fuel.

She unfortunately has to live outside covered up, so the cold/damp weather has probably played havoc with the weber carb. A little rule that used to work for me in the days before f.i. was 'if you suspect the carb check the electrics' Other than linkages getting frozen solid or become sluggish due to lack of lubricants i don't think that Weber carbs are likely to be upset by the conditions you mention though it could be that if you have old fuel in the tank and not much of it you may be in danger of dragging dirt through or at least into the carb unless you have an in line fuel filter.
