Bike idles, but dies when given throttle

I recently bought an 08 Ninja 250 for my nephew as his first bike. The bike sat for about 10 years, so I took it apart and the carbs were completely gunked up, so I bought a new set and while I waited for them to come in, I put in new spark plugs and fuel line, and cleaned the tank out.

After installing the new carbs, the bike starts right up and idles fine, but instantly dies the moment you give it any throttle. Any ideas?
