Hi Marti, welcome.
Assuming all was well before the old girl’s layup, The only advice I can give is that despite the cleaning, some blockage still remains - a case of cleaning those jets again and hoping for better.
If you have an airline, blow the jets through after spraying with the carb cleaner.
Martin.

To add to Martin's advice, I've found that just spraying carb cleaner through from an aerosol, with the nozzle tight up against the jet, can do the trick without the need for an airline.
Also a track or foot pump, fitted with one of those needle-like nozzles that is used for footballs etc., is a useful substitute to blow through. I also use that trick to blow water out of crevices after rinsing the bike, incidentally.
