I'd try a full can of Seafoam in a couple of tanks of gas and see if it helps to clear the problem up.

Sounds like she has been setting for a periods of time.

Get a spray can of some type of silicone spray and do a heavy spray of all the outside linkage around and between the carburetors.

While you're spraying work the throttle continuously and also the choke.  Remove the chrome covers to gain access to all the linkage parts.

Spray, spray, and more spray.

This should loosen up all your sticky problems, and don't worry, all the excess will flow to the ground.
