Trouble starting sometimes

Just got my "new" bike...1st one, 1980 XS 850 Special. Yamaha did a complete tune-up: re-built all 3 carbs, new spark plugs and caps, and emptied out and cleaned out the gas tank. She runs well but sometimes won´t start. She turns over but doesn´t catch and Yamaha told me not to open the choke (she floods herself). She was running well all week and yesterday morning when I tried to start her, no go. This evening, she started! Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Karen
