I'm stretching a bit on this one because i would figure that the gas would fix it...have you checked your oil level. It may be possible that while the bike was on its side oil leaked up past the rings and is now causing a very bad mixture...did it run really rough when it ran for a minute??? is it possible that a spark plug wire came disconnected? Have you pulled the plugs to see if they are fouled (too much fuel shorts the plug)? I'd start by drying out the cylinders, checking for spark, maybe draining the carbs then let them fill up again...you might also have developed an air leak in the rubber boots that connect the carb to the head...keep trying...remember suck squeeze bang blow...one of them is not working right or your engine would be running...
