you really are terrible with electrics if you are looking for a spark you need to hold the metal body of the plug against the metal of your engine (usually the cylinder head). If you just hold it in thin air it will never spark.

Charge the battery Dave, Ohh and check the level of the cells

Are you holding the spark plug metal body to ground on the cyl head when checking?

Try other spark plugs, you should have a few spares?

Check the gear lever isnt bottoming out on the frame, sometimes the splines on these old bikes can be a bit worn and the lever can slip round a notch.

as a starting point and from cold...feel (with caution) each exhaust header as you start the bike and note if any remain colder than the others to indicate which carb you may have issues with
