I would start with checking that all ignition issues are satisfactory.
Plugs
Plug wires
Cap
Rotor
Points (if eqiupped)
Advance mechanism
Timing

Then move to fuel issues
Is the fuel fresh
Is there water in the fuel
Is the filter good
What is the fuel pressure
Are the carb diaphragms still good

Then check...
Valve adjustment
Compression

Start with the basics before tearing into the carbs.
