If it were me I'd do the following:
1) Take out all the plugs, attach them to the plug leads and turn the engine over to see if they're all sparking. Any that don't, you replace them. Having turned the engine over several times (with the choke off and the plugs not in) you should have cleared the cylinders of any over supply of fuel.
2) I'd then unscrew the float drain screw of each carb to make sure they had fuel in them. If for some reason they had little or no fuel in them I'd by-pass the fuel pump and see if they filled with fuel.
3) Assuming they did fill with fuel and it still won't start I'd want to make sure the pilot jets were clear. You say you cleaned the carbs, but did you blow carb cleaner and compressed air through all the fine drillings and did you make sure the pilot jets were clear?
4) If having done all that, i.e. you've got sparks and clean carbs full of petrol, the only other thing I can think of is:
have you installed the right replacement coils with the correct leads on them?
I reckon you must have because they are all one, but you never know.
Just as an aside, I had a fazer stood for about three years, and it was a bugger to start. I ended up cleaning the carbs out and replacing a plug, and there was nothing wrong with it when I covered with a sheet and left in the garage three years earlier. My experieince is they don't like being stood for a long time.
