Start and run engine for 1-2 mins. If it wont actually run yet, keep spinning engine over for 30 seconds.Switch off and check if air filter is wet or smells strongly of petrol.If it does, and considering the bike has been standing for three years, it's possible the carbs may be "gunked up" with old fuel,which means they will need removing,stripping, cleaning and reassembling. Refit then balance with vacuum gauge.
