1999 Kawasaki ZX7R Ninja Won't Start - I Need Your Help!

So last winter the bike stopped running. I put it away and I'm now trying to get the thing running again. It's a 750cc engine with 4 carbs. Just replaced the battery, drained some water out of the carbs, and checked the spark plugs(two had a little oil on them). She's got gas pumping, sparks firing, and the starter is clearly turning the engine. She doesn't even puff once. If it helps, just before she quit working when I would start her up cold she would sound like a V-twin. Once she warmed up she was fine. What am I missing?

Was hoping you guys could help me trouble shoot so I can get her running again. Don't want to pay the $125 for the tow to the shop.

Thanks!
Phil
