I'm with Jimmy on this...sounds all to familar....

1) Remove your petcock and clean out the filters...takes 5 minutes.
2) There is an in line filter at the point where the fuel line intersect with the carbs....I replace mine annually...most people have no clue this exsists. They are a couple of bucks.
3) Run SeaFoam/Hot Shot, etc......if that dosen't clean out the grime, pull the carbs and give em a cleaning.
4) Just a thought......you stated the dealer put in new fluids....I wonder if he put new gas in over what was sitting in the tank or he totally drained it and then replaced with new gas....just to be safe, I'd dump the tank and start new.....hell, ya gotta pull the tank to do the petcock...it's only a couple of bucks....put the old gas in the lawn mower. (or around here, in the snow blower)

My 95 sat for years before I bought it.....I ended up pulling the carbs after playing around with quick fixes....well worth the time.
