check all conections are good, make sure the battery is good with a multimeter as if it has been left in a uncharged state for ntoo long it is proberly knackered if all that is ok, tap the starter with something as it could be stuck.

Battery - why would you think the spark plugs have anything to do with the engine turning over?
The clicking is the starter solenoid... not enough juice to spin her over.

Well you either have a bad battery or a short in the starter motor windings, or a sticking bendix, or a feed wire either the Red one or the Black, earth isent making good contact either on the battery or on engine earth, or starter term but the other thing could be the starter button bad contact inside
But the battery would be my first thing to check as because it looks good and lights up the lights the starter is like shorting out to earth ..

Normally I would say it was dirty terminals, but a jump start should by pass that. Because of the clicking sound, start with the terminals, then try to find your stater motor and try to identify where the sound is actually coming from (ie take the seat off). The solenoid is the next thing that makes that noise, and finally if all else fails, then your starter motor is cactus. I cannot find a manual for you, but have a look yourself, you might find a comparable one that will help you.

Please check the fuel lines for possible blockages.

That could be the solution.
