GPZ750 Won't Start

I'm working on an 84 GPZ750 which has stood idle for about 8 years. I've rebuilt Mikuni carbs and I can't get the darn thing to remain started. It's started for brief periods (sounds good) but I don't seem to have control over throttle. Pouring gas in cylinders will also make it start for a brief moment. I have gas flow from tank and there's gas in the float bowls. Any suggestions? Tim :whistle:

Sounds like the fuel level in the float bowls is to low, but I'm no carb expert
