Welcome to KF
You mentioned that you have the essentials of combustion, however I have found that anything that has sat for any length of time needs a carb tear down and cleaning, electrical connections that need cleaned and checked.
Enjoy your first ride.

You'll need to talk to a bike shop for that. In person or online, but they'll need all the available information like bike model and year, and possibly the exact carb model if they varied during the run. Tears in the diaphragms are really bad and will prevent you from getting anything like proper tuning.
