Default RF600 Wont Start

RF600 decided not to start, eventuall cleaned the spark plugs and played with the throttle stop screw. Got it runninglast night but the bike went straight to 5k revs and sat there. Adjusted the stop screw down this morning and bike has went back to not starting... Got the bike to idle by holding on a bit of throttle, but when increased throttle it did nothing and when letting go te engine cut out.

Anyone have any ideas?

Has it sat for any length of time with untreated fuel?

Did it run fine and just start acting up all at once?

I'm just trying to figure out what changed.
