Default 1995 Softail help

New to the Harley world and was wondering if I could get some help around these parts.

Dads bike recently decided to stop running so I'm trying my hand at fixing it. It had started with the bike not even being able to crank, pulled the starter because I had heard about how the power cable to it was known to come loose, after realizing that wasn't the issue but there was a voltage drop at the starter switch, which is apparently another notorious problem with this year bike. So after all of these problems were fixed the bike cranked over nicely but thats about it. It will crank but wont run, not sure if there any more issues that this year bike is known to have or maybe something may have happened as a result of that I really don't know so I was wondering if I could help, any would be nice.

Thanks.

Evo's shouln't be too complicated to work on.

Fuell flows into carb, ignition in the heads, kaboom and stuff should start rotating.
Has the bike been sitting for a while? (Bad fuell)
Sparkplugs ok?
Any Compression in the heads?
