check the HT leads to see if there connected right, or just damp.
Check your coolant level too

if the starter is turning the engine over with no problems, then the battery should be ok. Just turn the lights on & try start it, if they go dim quite a bit while your turning it over, then yeah charge the battery.
Just a random thought, check the leads going into the ignition module & amplifier, and also get a hairdryer from somewhere, sounds mad this, but just warm up the ignition coil with it for about 15 mins, holding the hairdryer abouty 8 inches from it, then try start it.
