Answer
Hi John, carb service for motorcycles is a closely gaurded secret, I doubt any one will detail it for you online, this type of repair is a motorcycle technicians bread and butter.
The factory service manual is the only trustworthy reference out there. The carbs are in need of cleaning and possibly some tuning. Never let her sit for more than a month or two without draining the float bowls. If you want to clean the carbs yourself get the manual.
