I just got a 1979 Hawk, that had been sitting for 2 or 3 years. I got it running but the left piston is not firing. it is getting a spark. the right side is firing and running fine. I did shoot use some cab cleaner into the air intake.....should i take the carbs off and clean them? or any other suggestions?

thanks
