To clean the carbs, take off the float bowls, clean the varnish out of the bottoms of the bowls. Take out the mains (hex shaped jets) and the pilots (up in the little tube) and soak them in carb cleaner, then blow them out later with compressed air (make sure to close your eyes, carb cleaner stings BIGTIME). Make sure the floats and needles are all moving smoothly, and that they are set within spec (VERY often they are out of spec) Make sure the passage from the main jet tube up to where the needle enters it is clear as well. Hope that helps
