How is the battery? When you drain everything it takes some cranking time to allow the fuel to flow, so if you haven't cranked a while you may not have gas to the carbs yet.

That drains a battery pretty quickly, so it will need most likely need a charge.

If you still get nothing, pull the plug wires and check for a spark. If you have spark, you can remove the air filter and give the carbs a quick shot of starter fluid. If it fires up momentarily it tells you for sure you don't have fuel.

Just don't use much. It will pop over from just a quick shot.
