1600 idle problems

Mate has a 1600 Fasty (72 i think) with standard twin carbs and it takes about 10 mins after starting before it will idle at all. Any ideas where to start looking? Have a new gasket set for carbys. Should this be the first thing to look at or should i be looking elsewhere first.

Any ideas

Ceers

did you try this???
would certainly be my suggestion if it idles fine after warming up! Are the choke butterflies closed when cold before startup? Are the chokes wired up?
Sounds like they have been wound off so they are not working at all...
