Very Strange. KZ900 Carbs?

I picked up a 1976 KZ900 last summer. I dont ride it much, but enough to keep things flowing.
The other day I took it to get inspected. On the 7 mile journey, it ran great and pulled hard.
To be honest, it sat for about 7 weeks with ethanol/fuel conditioner in the fuel.
After getting the inspection, I stopped at a local biker hang out spot and chatted with my friends.
I had it on the kickstand for about 1.5 hours. I NEVER park my bike on the kickstand...ever.
Anyway, on the way back home, im doing about 70 and the bike sputters like its choking. I have a voltmeter on the bike and saw the charging system is working fine.
Im thinking the sputtering issue may have to do with dirt that somehow got in the jets when I had it on the kickstand. I need to put a fuel filter on the bike: maybe dirt from the tank got in the carbs.
Its either that or that the 5 year old ignition coil is (suddenly) fading. The PO had the ignition coil on for 5 years. I didnt think much of it but now, hmmm.
Any thoughts?

BTW, the VPN screwed up all my other accounts when I cleared my cache. I turned it off and had to log back in to most of them except FB. Telegram was the worst effected on both my laptop and phone. I won't be using it anymore.

He's been getting away with it this time sense January. Each time he gets away with it until the membership catches on.
I realize now I didn't have to draw him out. Everyone knew it anyway.
