Starter: Could be a bad solenoid but more likely it's one of the safety interlocks or the kill switch. On this bike, for the initial start, it must be in neutral AND have the clutch pulled in (and the choke on at least half way).
No doubt the carb is gummed up big time from sitting that long but.......you have turned the petcock to PRIme and let it sit like that for a while, right?
And you did drain everything and put in fresh gas, right?
