How Long Can a Carburetor Go Un-used Without Rebuilding?

If an edlebrock carb was was cleaned well and then laid aside and covered up for about a year, in most cases would it still be ok to be put back on an engine and ran without a rebuild. The reason I'm asking is, about six months ago I bought a lightly used carb that was taken off a running car and then cleaned and set aside for about half a year....then I bought it and six months later and here I am getting close to putting on the finishing touches up on some engine stuff and am hoping to crank it up before long. I guess I was wondering if typically the carb would still be ok without rebuilding at this point.
