The pilot jets are clogged.
I'm assuming you're doing this with the carbs on the bike (taking the bowls off). See if you can find a picture of your carbs with the different jets identified - you may have 2 different "pilot" jets (idle jet and pilot jet), I'm not sure whats in those bikes. But you will need to take the smaller jets and the emulsion tube (thats what the main jet threads into, I'm assuming its removeable - if its not, or its pressed in then leave it for now) out and soak them in a 50/50 simple green/hot water mix for a while, and then blow them out with compressed air (if you have it) or some kind of wire to clear the debris out. Hold them up to a light and make sure they're clear.
Take pictures and post 'em here if you get stuck....
