Well, there are lots of things to check.

How long has the bike been standing? Why was the air box\exhaust removed?

These are fickle engines to start without the airbox and filters and exhaust fitted. Not impossible but easier when fitted. You may have to go back and clean the carbs many times before they are fully clean. Have you checked the diaphragms for splits, leaks.

Has the timing been checked? These are all easily checked while you are waiting for the compression tester.

Looks like a nice bike BTW. Good luck.
