Hi folks, thanks for your excellent advice and feedback. The situation was definitely some sort of blockage in the carbs. I initially tried a quick and dirty cleaning, by only spraying in the carb cleaner and waiting an hour or so. Following the advice here, I took it apart again and did a thorough cleaning of the jets and ports, and let it sit overnight while I charged the battery.

Even though most of the parts looked clean and spotless, there must have been some small thing somewhere causing a problem 'cause after I popped it back in this morning, the thing lit up nicely, and with a few adjustments we're now purring like a kitten.

Thanks again for the tips, and I hope this helps someone else out there...nothing beats a thorough cleaning.
