Default Backfire - Wont start

Hey guys I've gotta 01 Katana 600 which wont start up at all. I live in Missouri where the temps are dropping to the teens. I try to start her up a few times a week but she's gettin sicker and sicker. Before it wouldn't start up at all, the bike ran really crappy. Prior to winter I was having problems with the carbs..I needed to synch them but couldn't due to medical reasons. The only thought I have is to change out all the spark plugs and synchronize the carbs and clear out the gas lines. Any other thoughts would definitely be helpful. Thanks guys!
