If you have good blue spark, you can count the ignition circut out. If you dont want to spray starting fluid you can pop a fuel line off, to see if theres pressure. Listening for the pump is generally a good practice, but it isnt infallible. However, not hearing the pump and confirming low fuel pressure at the rail is very good diagnostics. Spraying starting fluid is less messy and faster, just spray into the TB rather than disconnect anything...(i cant recall if the CB7 has a schreader valve on the rail or not, thats the absolute easiest way to check fuel pressure.)
Randomly replacing parts or checking random parts can get you nowhere, unless you are lucky. Diagnosing problems over the internet is hit or miss, just diagnose it yourself, the right way.
