So she was running fantastic, I usually ride through the winter. Due to projects at work and wether she ended up sitting for almost three weeks. When I went to start her up I got an idle (with choke) but dies as soon as I throttle up. She had accidentally sat outside during a rainstorm so I assumed some water in the fuel. I drained it, refuled with fresh and...same thing. She'll start if I spray starter fluid into the carbs but seems to have a gas flow problem, particularly when throttling up. I've got spark, I am thinking I need to just pull the carbs and clean them but am hoping someone can give me a few more things to try first.
