If you have spark, clean fuel, and clear exhaust, the only two things left are 1) compression and 2) timing. The spark has to happen at top of the compression stroke when both the intake and exhaust valves are closed, and compression is needed to push the crank around on its circular journey.
Compression checks are easy with a guage that you can borrow from auto parts stores. Timing does not usually change unless the distributor hold down bolt is loose. Is the distributor still tight and not loose in its shaft?
