1986 Honda Civic hatchback, 1.3L  This beast drove into my driveway and has been sitting there untouched for 2 and a half years. I'd like to see if I can get it running as a commuter car to leave at the park and ride all day. The gas tank was almost completely empty when I parked it, I added a few gallons of fresh gas today. I changed the battery today. The electronics turn on, and the starter turns over. The engine will not get going. I hear a few pops like combustion happened a few times, but in general it just turns and turns without firing up. I'm decent with mechanical stuff, but I don't know how to start diagnosing something like this. Also, I lack most of the specialty tools so if there's a workaround for tests, those would totally help. Where should I start?

I tired to go outside and pour gas straight into the carb last night. The doors were frozen shut.  I'll try again after work today

Force feeding it gas through the carb worked, it combusted. My wife is now concerned that I'm taking anonymous internet advice that includes having a fire extinguisher on hand just in case. Now that we know it's delivery, what's next, fuel filter?
