I don't have experience with early Magnas, but I would pull and overhaul the carbs, using the procedure detailed here:

Good luck with it. You got it at a great price, so you have some room to spend some $$ to get it up to par.
Keep us posted.
Yep, the jets are clogged up; I see a trip into the carbs in your near future.
Great looking bike where is the riders helmet? Lol and yea I would suspect the carbs are the problem.
Welcome to MOOT JKSR1 from Tampa Bay, Floriduh!!!
Where are you located.. Maybe a Wrench day in your future, If you are close to some other MOOTsters..
Looks like the bike is in great shape on the outside.. Now you have to work on the inside!!!
It's not as bad as you think...
I'd be concerned with the tires though.. Even if they "look new", if they are more than 2 years old, I'd think about swapping them out as bike tires get "hard" over time.
Again Welcome!!!
