Developed a misfire - ideas?

Just bought an ´82 Maxim and I love it. We were riding Saturday and stopped to take a break. Upon restart, the bike started missing some. Full throttle produces black exhaust. It has been stored for some time, but plugs are new. Must be a carb malfunction...where is the best place to start? What should I do before sending it to the dealer? Thanks in advance for any shortcuts you pros might know.
