Sounds like a blocked main jet caused by fuel residue..This is common after the winter or if the bike has been stood for a short time.. As the fuel evaporates it leaves a crystalline residue. You will need to strip carbs and clean jets and fuel ways with a carb cleaner.. it comes in an aerosol so its an easy job but care is needed dismantling and reassembling. don't be tempted to poke any wire or alike in the jets to clear them through.. cleaner and air only.. hope this helps.
when your motorcyle has been stood for a while like over winter..keep the battery charged up. if its got carbs..run them out of petrol befor storeing. has petrol goes off in the carbs & gums them up. whitch then when you come to use the bike you need to strip the carbs & clean the float bowls & clean the jets out..has with a lot of problems i have seen on here when bikes have been stood they wont rev or even start because the petrol carnt get threw...if the bikes been stood a long time you need fresh petrol anyway as it goes off!!...
More than likely it is due to the old gas. Often it turns to "lacquer" after sitting. Unfortunately it usually leaves gummy deposits in the carburetor as well. If it runs well enough to drive, you may be able to put some card cleaner in the tank and run it until it cleans out.usually there are small passages in the cards that need to be manually cleaned though (taken apart and either soaked in cleaner, or brushed out) Peace
drain old fuel first and replace with fresh,then check fuel filter,carbs need to be cleaned after sitting so long, yes there should be a constant flow of fuel
