Default CBR600 carburetors full of fuel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bike: 1992 CBR600f2 (keep in mind I'm a bike noob )

Problem: Bikes been sitting for 2 years. It sat with a little fuel in the tank. Before the bike was stored it was given a tune up (plugs, wires, oil change, etc..). Poured fresh fuel with carb cleaner. Tried to start it and it alllllmost did. However, after a while it wouldn't even turn over. Took off the intake/air filter and peaked inside the through the throttle bodies. Each carb was FULL of fuel. My brother and I finally got the fuel out of the carbs and the bike started, but it wouldn't stay on. If you let go of the throttle, it will stall. It was getting late so we decided to call it a day. Is there anything that I should be looking for? I'm thinking I should check plugs, but then again I don't know **** about carbs. Someone told me that the carbs need to be removed, cleaned, synchronized, and some other carb jargon. Need your help guys....

Yes.

And to clean them you need to dissasemble them. Have fun.

Did you have another question? If a bike sits for 2 years, the carbs are going to be gummed up.
