Draw some fuel and inspect for water, let it settle in a glass bottle.
Try running on a small deck tank with fresh fuel too.

Otherwise , if its been a while ( like NEVER?) rebuild the carbs with carb kits, read the top secret FAQ files for instructions, if you don't run wire through the jets you may as well not bother.:D
