Installed new spark plugs (kept old ones)
But I can't seem to get the bike to turn over. The only thing I haven't done is clean out the carburetor because it looks like a pretty big job for a novice. Funny thing is, when I go to crank the bike up, if I spray starter fluid into the air intake, the bike begins to turn over(but only with the clutch fully engaged). But if I let go of the ignition switch, it wont idle.

Most likely you have carb work in your future.
Look through this section, especially the info on carb removal and cleaning -

You need to do it carefully and meticulously, or you'll be doing it again.
If you want it done professionally (and right the first time) look up ducatiman here.
