Brainstorming here. Maybe the trip kicked some crap loose in the gas tank that is now in the carb. If that's the case, liquid carb cleaner probably won't help. The GZ250 doesn't have a fuel filter unless you have installed one. It sounds to me like something not moving freely in the carb. Hard to diagnose over the Internet.

How long did the bike sit while you were getting ready for the move? If it wasn't ridden for a few weeks, it doesn't take long for things to gum up if they were headed that way anyway. If that were the case, the liquid carb cleaner might help.
