Mine had sat for the better part of two years.
I replaced fuel lines ( they were a bit rotten from sun) and am getting good fuel, but cleaning the carb didn't help.

Yesterday I installed a new Mikuni carb and an NGK plug.
Bike starts and runs smooth and twisting the throttle revs it up, but idle is way too high.
The info above is helpful, I'll take my Dremel and cut a screwdriver slot in the idle screw so I can back it out.

I have no idea what jet to use, I live at 6200 feet. Riding around here is 6000 to 8500 feet, but this winter if I want to ride I'll have to take the bike down to the desert, elevations there are from 1500 feet to 3500 or so.
