    Definitely need to remove any shirts that are in the carb.

    Petrol isn't stable (you can get stabiliser for when you leave the bike standing for a while) so it can thicken and leave deposits in the carb over time.

    There's a drain screw on the very bottom of the carb to let you drain out old fuel. Unscrew it a couple turns, fuel should pour out near the centre stand (it'll create a smal puddle) and then you can nip it up, give it 5 mins to refill the float bowl and try starting again.
