Kristian,
You probably should not have left fuel in the carbs. Try siphining out the old
fuel from the petrol tank, cleaning out the fuel bowls, check that the fuel
floats float & that the float valve does not hang up. 

Clean all the wire connections on both your primary and secondary ignition.

Check point gap

You didn't mention if you cleaned the batt. connectors.  You should go ahead
& clean them.  They can have a thin high resistance oxidation layer
between the connector & batt. that is not obvious.

Try firing it up again.
