Default Engine won't start after carbs cleaned

I just finished cleaning the carbs on my bike. I put everything back together and filled the tank with fresh gas. Engine cranks but will not start.

Pulled a plug and it appears to be working. Unscrewed the float bowl drain plug and gas was coming out so I know gas is getting to the carbs. I don't know what else would be the problem.

are the plugs wet or dry? if they are wet your not getting spark, so you might have jiggled one of the cables loose while messing with the carbs. Check your ground also. Try taking some ether and give her a shot or two see if itll fire.

The plugs are actually dry. Which makes me believe the engine isn't getting enough fuel?? The battery is dead now after so many attempts so I'm gonna get it charged then check the coils in case one is bad.

Also could it possibly be the fuel pump?? I thought about checking it too and see if it's mechanically working.
