If the bike has been sitting for a few weeks, there could be trash in the pilot jets. Could also be crud from the tank. Is there a filter in place? Synchronizing the carbs is not real complicated and there are several threads and tutorials on this site. The search function will find them.
There may also be a link to a pdf of the factory shop manual, which I assume you do not have. Copies of them are often for sale on eBay. It is well worth the price.
