Well ur getting conflicting advice because everyone is assuming you're at differing levels of progression with this problem.

You definitely need to try cranking the bike more with the choke all the way up, making sure that your battery is in check, of course. IF this doesn't work at all (after sufficient time trying to crank the bike, with the choke on, and with everything else in order) then you'd escalate to draining the carbs, etc.

Start with the small, easy solutions first, gradually progressing up to the more complicated and insane solutions as required.
