Remove and clean the carbs, and take the petcock out of the gas tank and clean it out. Most likely, the fuel separated and left lacquer/shellac deposits in the in-tank filter located on the petcock and in all the small passages in the carbs. A new, battery, clean oil, plugs and clean fuel, and you should be good to go. Check the tires over really well for weather cracks and dry rot, you don't want to blow a tire on a 1300cc, 30 year old motorcycle.
