Are you actually getting fuel in the cylinders? How do the sparkplugs looks when you pulled them out? Were they wet, cover in oil, black?

You have to make sure you have a good spark on all cylinders, if you do than do this. Clean the sparkplugs off, make sure they are gapped to specs. Let the cylinders dry out (shut the fuel off and crank the engine for a few seconds, put a rag over the holes casue fuel might spray. Do this about 3 times but let the starter cool so you dont burn it out). Put the plugs back in and try to start it (dont forget to turn the fuel back on). If that doesnt work, take the plugs out again, see if they are really wet, if they are your carbs might be flooding the cylinders. If they are not than you might not be gettign fuel in and than spray some starting fluid in the cylinders, put the plugs back in and crank it. If it starts you are not getting fuel. good luck
