Trouble starting 1976 Honda CB500T

The bike was running prior to being stored in the winter. I am at wits ends trying to figure out what is causing it to not run now. Since attempting to get it running, I have already replaced the battery, spark plugs and boots, ignition coil, and condenser. I have tested the plugs and boots and I am getting a spark out of both just using the starter motor.

As a sanity check, I've already removed the carburetor and attempted to spray starter fluid directly through the boot but I haven't received so much as a sputter. I know I'm getting compression but I haven't used a tester for an exact number. Should that be what I'm going around testing next? I can provide any pictures or videos if needed.

Thank you for your help.
