Bike starts and dies after few seconds.
Hey guys.
I have this problem that I cant fix. Bike was sitting for a while (few months) and now I cant get it running.
It starts and dies after few seconds.
Basically it dies after going above 2k or 3k rpms. Same thing happens with choke on or off. I tried to give it some gas after it fires up but that doesn't seem to do anything.
I am on my way down to pull the carbs out and clean them again. I have cleaned them already but I dont think I did a good job.
What do you guys think?

Disassemble the carbs, all jets out and soak them in a pinesol/water mix. Make sure you clean all of the little holes in the jets with a piece of small wire (I use guitar strings).
Leave the carbs sit in the pinesol mix overnight. After they've soaked, blow out all of the passages with compressed air (take the bells off the front and the bracket and jet all the slow jets blown out) and put it all back together.
That will get it clean.
Check your spark plugs too while you're at it.
