1979 honda xl 185s problems

i recently purchased a 1979 honda xl 185 s with only a little over 3000 miles.So i was out riding my 185s with no problems when all of a sudden it quit running. i pulled over tryed kick starting but would not start. i get the bike home and notice that the battery cells were completely empty.I replaced the battery but it still wont start. it gets spark but doesnt sound like its firing? it has gas, i checked the fuse and didnt find any problems or loose wiring. im wondering if i didnt fry wires or some electrical? or could it be my charging system? any info would greatly be appreciated before i sell the bike due to frustration
