Drain the carb float bowls.

If gas is left in them your pilot jets will be the first thing to clog.

My buddy left his pregen sitting all winter and ran it here and there to keep it up. We still had to tear down the carbs come spring.

Pilot jets are small and submerged in the fuel, so as the fuel slowly evaps it leaves residue that clogs the holes.

It's one of those standard things. Bike sat for a while, now won't idle without choke. Check the pilots and viola, plugged holes.
