Are you sure it is fuel and not oil?  The mechanic might have done a leakdown test, although I'm not sure why he would have given that he really didn't need to even start it to fix the bearings.

You say it won't turn over, do you mean that the engine literally doesn't even turn when you try to start it, like it has a completely dead battery?

Fuel gets sucked into the engine from the carbs by the engine turning over.  I'm not sure where the fuel is coming from if the engine isn't turning at all.

Fuel evaporates fairly quickly, so if you haven't started it in days, then you should have no fuel sitting in the combustion chamber.
