Didn't Summerize and now I have 5 cylinders

I had shoulder surgery and the bike sat for 3 months. (fortunately its too hot to ride much in the Tucson summer) Plugs show left side, middle is not firing. New plugs, verified spark. I drained the float bowl and pulled the needle. The needle had some stickiness on it but nothing major.
Am I looking at carb rebuild or does anyone have any shortcuts?

Try dumping a 12oz. bottle of Techron in there first. Run it. Let it soak overnight a few times. I've had better luck with Techron over Seafoam.

Drain all of the gas out of the tank and bowls. Refill with fresh gas and a full can of Seafoam or Techron and ride, ride, ride. Keep running the Seafoam or Techron through it and she'll come out of it.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a shot. Sure runs crappy without all six.
