Default CBR600F 87 carbs

Help I have just got a CBR that has been stood for several Years and I have got it started and runs but only on the choke as soon as I take the choke off or I use the throtle the bike cuts out. It doesn't sound right as if the timing is out or the carbs are dirty etc.
I'm going to take the carbs off and clean then well that's the plan does anyone have advise about it or what to do and not do?
All help will be received with thanks.

Use injector cleaner.

Yep, I would do some carb/injector cleaner first... with fresh gas, and see what happens. If it doesn't help, a carb clean is most likely the next step.
