Here's what I would do, make sure key is on, fuel is on, kill switch in normal position, choke all the way on, with an old screwdriver short the solenoid and battery terminals to make the starter turn the motor over.if the battery is good, and fully charged it should spin like a top.As long as there's fuel and your getting a good spark, it has to fire up.If it will turn over with the screwdriver trick, that means your solenoid is shot or your stater button is bad. a flooded motor will be hard to start,and a motor that has sat for months will take some cranking to fill 4 float bowls.

How are your cables? to test them try by passing them using jumper cables. If your solenoid is working it should transfer the 12v pos, to the starter when the start button is pushed. A badly corroded cable either from the battery to the solenoid, or the solenoid to the starter will have too much Resistance to transfer the power.using the jumper cable will tell you if you have a bad one. You're real close keep lookin.,,
