running rough

Ok so i got the bike out last night after some cosmetic modifications! It is running a little rough! Thinking it's from the gas that has been in it all winter. There isn't much in it do you have any suggestions on what to do to get it to spark back to life?

I did put new plugs in her and cleaned the air filter. Other than that i didn't do anything else.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Fresh gas first..

But cleaning the carbs may be in order...... Most times untreated gas left for that long will form sludge and deposits in the carb.

i started it regularly through the winter to prevent the same gas from sitting in the carbs to long!

I will ride it over and get a full tank of gas tonight and see if that helps!

you probably already know this, but check that the fuel petcock vacuum is on the correct port.

ya I agree with yamahadm250
If you took the tank off check that 1st. I learned the hard way, but these guys fixed me up..
If not sure what that is, I have a pic on a post that E.Marquez put up. note the small grey hose
