Default 91 600 no spark

Just bought the bike, realizing it's alot worse off than was led to believe. No spark at plugs. coils have power.This bike has sat at least a year. The guy said he started it a month ago. But , judgeing by the bad starter button and nasty condition of the inside of the tank and fuel ,I dought that it ran a month ago. The battery was bone dry. I filled it with water let it sit awhile and then charged it overnight on 2 amps. it has juice, but cranks a bit slow. I use my charger on 10 amps while cranking it.Fuses are good , wiring is intact. It has an electric tach that bounces ever so sligtly while cranking. I suspect the little black box/igniter/ECU/Pain in the ass.I do not have a wiring diagram,but I am searching for one. I realize that a new battery is in my future and their will be fuel issues. I'm prepared for that. Is there a test for the box?What are the values of the wires at the box? What would Chuck Norris do?

ok, I have spark now. New battery , new plugs . No fuel, but it fires off with a little carb spray. I'll be going thru the carbs and cleaning out the tank at this point. Any suggestions? The tank is pretty bad. white milky powder coats the inside.
