Default 1981 GS450, won't do Anything!!!

I have a 1981 GS450 with only 6,500miles on it. It has been parked since 86 in a garage.

It was given to me, he told me it ran when he parked it. I have done everything in my power to get that thing to start. i charged the battery, new plugs, cleaned out carb, checked fuses, and everything.

There is good compression, i put starter fluid in each cylinder and nothing happened. The starter and horn don't work, no sound what so ever.

What could be the problem?

Michael


ARE GS550 PARTS INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE GS450?
