Default Newbie. GS850 not firing..help!

This is my first bike and I LOVE IT. unfortunately i havent got to ride it yet. Its going through a revamping, but it also wont start! It had been sitting for 2 yars when i got it, but fired right up when i pulled it out. The motor turns over fine but im not getting any fire to the coils. Do these bikeshave a kickstand safety switch? All the wiring was stripped from the bike except what was needed to run, but they messed somehting up. Ive got a wiring diagram for it and ordered a manual, but i thought maybe yall had some words of advice?
