SV650 - Need to start the bike. Need Advice

Hi,

I am a new owner of 99 SV650 and I am enjoying it.
Only the problem is the bike has not started yet and I need your advice
how to start the dead bike especially SV650.

Here is what I tried so far:
1. I ordered the Clymer and Haynes manuals. Not arrived yet.
2. Recharged the battery but the battery has to be replaced (if there
is specific battery you would like to recommend, I would be grateful)
3. I jump started with a good battery
4. Poured some good gasoline (I asked previous owner to drain the gas
for me but I did not see how he did it).
5. It cranks up (compression is good) but nothing happened.
6. We tried the push start but it won't help.

I have not check the spark plugs yet (the previous owner replaced the
spark plugs last week but I don't know whether it was gap properly or
he used the right spark plugs).

I have not checked the cockpet nor fuel line to test gas is actually
flowing through the carburetor.

That is pretty much where I am standing now until the manuals arrive
this week.

If you have a similar experience after you sat your bike for a year or
knows how to revive dead bike, please help.

Any pointer in detail and things to do will be helpful.
