You may need to have the carbs professionally cleaned and adjusted. There could be an issue with the carb diaphragms also. Pull the fuel line, apply vacuum to the petcock, and confirm flow.
For the transmission, I would make sure you have gotten it into 1st gear. Keep tapping down while rocking the bike forward and back. It would be odd if it were stuck in gear and wouldn't change. I'm thinking it may not be in 1st, and you are clicking up looking for neutral from a higher gear.

It does not fire up or even try to kick over when spraying starting fluid.
I've verified that it does have spark on both cylinders.
