First thing to do is make sure your intake and exhaust valves are adjusted to specs as this can cause popping from the carburetors and cause major engine damage if not corrected. As far as the bike not starting with the carbs on, make sure that they are clean. If any of the tiny fuel tubes, jets, emulsifiers or passages are gummed up or clogged with debris or fuel varnish, this can cause the engine to not start. If they have been sitting for a while with fuel in them you will need to disassemble them and clean them with a good carb dip or ultrasonic cleaner. A simple Google search will give you many pages on how to clean carbs properly. There are also reputable businesses and individuals that can perform this service for you if you would rather not deal with it yourself.
Bowl float height set too high, or you have trash in the valve seat. remove bowl, and float. Blow through the line where your gas enters the carb. You might clear the trash. check the rubber tip of the valve that is attached to the float, it may be damaged. Go to bikebandit.com for parts.
If your compression is good on ALL cylinders, you still have a carb issue. You have to be extremely thorough when "rebuilding" or cleaning out. There is small holes on the sides of most pilot jets that a lot of people overlook.
