Strip out and clean the carbs.. It's a bit of a pig as the battery, coils and airbox have to come off first. Check floats or float valves for damage. Replace fuel filter to stop any more muck getting ito the fuel system from tank. If the tank's very rusty inside you may have to drain and clean it, othewise the same problem will crop up.
