May need more effort than that.

Did you ever change your air filter?  

Here is what I would do (all steps before running):

 - Change plugs (I think you said you did this already), if so, take them off and clean them, that usually has good results.

 - Take tank off.  Turn petcock on prime to see if gas flows through system and out the carb end of the gas line well.

 - Take the carbs off, in the process you get a good look at the air filter and airbox, make sure everything looks good in there.

 - Check the tops of each carb, make sure needle seats well, diaphragm is not torn, o-rings are all there.  

 - Go through the bottoms of the carbs, note correct jet sizes, give them a good soak in a can of carb parts cleaner.  

 - Put them all back together, uncover mixture screws and set them to the proper number of turns.  Put it all back together.

 - I really enjoy doing things like this, I've always been the type to take everything apart though.

 - For more specific directions, consult your haynes or whatever manual you have, even though the book just makes it sound harder than it is.

When this is all done and it still runs poorly, you have it narrowed down to being an electrical problem.
