Subject: starting problems 93 katana 600

I just got a 93 katana 600.. its a nice bike, but this starting problem is driving me nuts.

I have new gas, It wont even start on ether as of right now. it will sputter maybe once through the exhaust as i try to start it. I cleaned the carbs (as well as i knew how), and i put new plugs in. Just to be sure i had spark, i pulled each plug one at a time, and grounded it to the engine, and i saw spark on all 4 plugs.

When i got the bike, the CDI box was filled with water, and the tach hasn't worked, the one time we did get it running.

would a replacement cdi box take care of my problems?

sorry, also one more problem.. the clutch is SUPER hard. i've tried to adjust it, and no matter where i put it, i can't push the bike while its in 1st gear with the clutch in, and the handle is always way too firm to actually use. any suggestions there?

thanks for any help.
