You also should put Seafoam in the gas and change the oil before trying to start the bike. You need a petcock (fuel valve).

Copy the number from the lock cylinder and try a dealer before a locksmith. You never know what those guys can do until you ask.

You sound like the gas line needs to be replaced. Do this. If this has set for a long time, it probably has varnish in the carbs. They should be cleaned. but to just try and get it running hook the gas line up , jump the battery with a car and kick and kick and kick somemore.
