Stand-by for the barrage of 'clean the carbs' replies to follow....
I'll just mention the other obvious thing...... make sure you have spark at the plugs as well.

You said it'll fire. Did you pull the plugs to see if they spark, or does it sometimes kinda backfire through the carburetors? You could have the coils wired backwards.
Or you might need to clean your carbs.
