Some engines from that era don't handle fuel system or carb cleaner very well. My advice is to drain or siphon as much gas out as you can (using a cheap siphon pump from the auto parts store, not by sucking on a hose), fill it with fresh fuel, and run it long enough to get that fresh fuel into the whole fuel system. If you notice you have gas dripping out of the bottom of your carbs, you might have stuck floats. Lightly tapping on the carbs with a screwdriver handle might lodge them free, but if that doesn't work, put the bike on a trailer and take it for a drive. The trailer ride will likely jar the floats free. Just getting the old fuel out and running fresh fuel through the system will go a long way.
