Most likely a massive air leak.

Rubber boots (intake manifolds) between carbs and engine can be cracked, can leak where they contact the head and the edged can roll over when the carbs are installed. The boots to the airbox can do similar things. To test for this, start the engine and spray carb cleaner, brake cleaner, or even WD40 carefully around each and every boot. If the idle changes, you have found a leak.

The problem could also be badly clogged carbs or maybe ridiculously low fuel level in the carb bowls.

There are many discussion threads on these topics and some dang good tutorials in the file base.
