clean the carbs good. Make sure all jets are clean and the float moves freely and you be alright. When the fuel runs out of a carb it it usually because of a stuck float.Make sure the needle bearing seat under the float is clean.

Sounds like you have either a needle/seat or float problem, it's time to overhaul the carbs.
