Do what Gaz64 suggested, set all mixture screws at 3/4 - 7/8 of a turn open. If it idles ok at 800-1000 RPM but pops as the throttle is opened THEN it is lean. Leave main jets and associated air correctors alone until idle sytem problem is resolved. If it has been setting, the gas could have gone bad. I had a situation early this past Spring with some bad gas that created what is best descibed as scale in the tank. Minute pieces of it repeatedly ended up plugging various idle jets, causing it to run on 7 cylinders.
