Tested compression, 100+ psi easy. Have dismantled and cleaned carby twice! It's a Tillotson carby, blew through all its passages, fuel is definitely reaching cylinder because of smell and fuel on spark plug. Tested spark, it sparks regularly, but I have no way of knowing if spark timing is right. I'm using a new spark plug and new fuel. So I have fuel, spark and compression, it just won't fire. Even pouring fuel into carby there is only some very slight sign of firing. What's my obvious mistake? Is there some thing I've missed?

regap yor plug,try some staring fluid very little. Take plug out and crank it over a few times to get all the excess gas out could be flooding. theres a few ideas,also check your air cleaner and see if it needs replacing or cleaning

What color is the spark? if it,s white the coil is weak, if it,s whiteblue then it,s ok, plug setting should be around 32 thousands,
doe,s the flywheel wobble back and forth when you try to start it ? remove flywheel check keyway, if it,s bent the timeing is off,
