First, get some power back into the battery. Let it charge on slow (5-10 amps) overnight if possible.
Get the new plugs, but before putting them in connect the wires and lay the plugs on a metal surface, facing where you can see the electrode end, crank the engine over and see if there is spark.
If no spark, check the points, voltage to the coil, and cap and rotor . You must have spark at the plug, not just at the coil.
If the engine will not crank over, as in no starter cranking, start checking for power to the starter and starter solenoid when the switch is in start position. If there is power to the starter, and power to the solenoid, and you know the battery is charged, the starter may have failed.
Just for future thoughts... Not being mean to you, but tackle the problems one at a time. The throttle linkage had to have been wrong before the starting problem, after all it WAS running that way.
Next time, get it running first, then work out the other problems, one at a time. Then you know what worked, what didn't, or what needs to be put back like it was!

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
