I just had the same problem with my 88 spl,I did as you and started with carbs,fuel filter,compression check,and checked the screen filter on fuel pump and all was good as gold.
Ended up being 1 of my power packs,I switched the packs to confirm that it was a bad pack.

Hope this helps?Good luck with your motor.
