Carb problem

I have an XT 600 3AJ
The bike is a bit difficult to start some times.
Before I just used to press starter button no throttle or very little throttle and it would start.
Now I usually bump start it when I leave my house (I live at the top of a big hill) once i stop the bike usually starts with no throttle but some times it just turns over and will only start if I give it alot of throttle.
I am sure this is not right, I am going to take carbs off. Is there any thing I should be looking for?
Is there any thing I should be checking with the throttle cabels.
Thanks

Don't take the carb off!
Just adjust the idle mixture screw [read : screw it out a few half turns].
