Compression OK?
Have you tried pulling one plug wire at a time to see if both cylinders were firing?
When you had the carb off, did you remove the high speed orifice and make sure it was not plugged or restricted?
Try pumping the primer bulb constantly and see if it helps.

Does the timeing mark have to be dead center when it first starts to move the cam follower?
