thats a new one. People dump the airbox all the time and run k&n air filters instead. The airbox doesnt make that much of a difference. in fact, some actually work better without it.
run a can of Seaforam in the tank..purchase from Autozone put in 1/3 to two gallons gas drive it around for at least 10 miles to insure it cleans out the whole carb system.if that doesnt work, check all carb hose fittings when bike is at idle spray some Chemtool B-12 ( also at Autozone) around the carb hoses and manifolds..if idle increses thats your problem. Caution: chemtool is very toxic wear gloves and a mask.
While pulling up on choke see if there is anyone movement at carbs. If not then choke cable is broken. One final test 1st. Find air intke. It should be under your seat. If you have aftermarket K$N filters or similar then it become more complicated. If you have an air box, place hand over hole and bike should idle faster. Same principal with aftermrket but harder to do, Zip Lock bags or grocery bags if Zip lock are to small should achieve same effect.
It should start fine - unless you have drawn gunk from the bottom of the tank into the fuel line, in which case you will need to strip and clean the carbs.
