bike wont start (it starts now)

well it never has, when i got the bike i wasnt running wich was 2 weeks ago, the guy told me he had it running just fine untill he parked it for 4 months, i put a new batt and nothing the bike cranks but wont start, yesterday when i tried to start it i was playing with the choke at the same time, and it kinda backfire (barely) does anybody knows a website with some info about how to take this bike apart , i want to get to the carb to put some fuel in it, and see if starts, if anyone has any idea or input please fell free to comment, i and plesae dont flame about getting a bike that wont start i got it for free...

hi mate, iv had the same prob this week with one of mine. the engine just churned away but never kicked in. to cure it i emptied the old petrol out of the carbs (check a manual for placement of the screws!) took out the plugs and gave them a clean and reset the gap (you could replace them) made sure the petrol pump was delivering by pulling the fuel hose off,also check the plugs for a spark! and after i had cleaned the whole system i loaded her up with fresh fuel,,,and off she went.
im sure you'll find the carbs under your air intake box which is under the fuel tank by the way.
best of luck
