misfiring at low rpm's

i have a 85 honda shadow vt1100c that sounds like misfiring at around 2000 rpm's. i just bought this bike and not sure how long it had been just sitting so i have gone through a couple tanks of fresh gas and now i am trying shock treatment to run through the carbs. it seems to be getting better as i drive it but still has that dead spot and a slight hesitation from 2000-2400 rpm's. best way to decribe the misfire is, sounds like the carbs are sneezing. Please, if any ideas, let me know.....thanks

Take the carbs off and clean them.
