Got this motorcycle from a family member, it has been sitting for 10 years. Just cleaned the carbs (bowls, jets etc...) put it back in and got a new battery. Cranks and turns over but no start. So I sprayed a little starter fluid into the airbox and it revs up 3-5k rpm and dies, throttle doesn't help to keep it running. I know its looking like a carb rebuild, but is there any tricks I can try or things to look at before then?

Thank you!!
