If after doing everything parks61 says, it still won't idle then check that the idle speed screw isn't backed all the way out. You need the butter fly open just a little for them to idle. I'd check it before doing what parks61 said but you could do it after too, you'll learn a lot about taking the carbs apart if you do it that way.

Do a compression test to see if there's enough compression to fire that cyl at idle.
