Welcome to the forums, bike wise it's starving for fuel. Check for intake leaks and the petcock has good flow and isn't getting blocked.

Another thing to check is that your idle jet is not clogged.

Float's stuck. I'd say some crude got into the fuel line then to the carb. Drain it and pull the petcock see condition the filter screens in.
