Starting problems

Put a new battery in, running off a side tank while I de rust my tank. The starter is working but not getting it to turn over. It looks like fuel is getting in there, no visible leaks. I got a couple pops from the engine  a few times (so i know the motor isnt seiezed) but after a few tried I just get the starter motor spinning. I'm waiting on a plug wrench to pull the plugs. What else should I check while I wait to pull the plugs and look at them? This bike hasn't been run regularly since 2003. All the electrical looks good. Plugs? Coils?
