Answer
Hello and thanks for your question...I'll try to help.
 I would first make sure that the firing order is correct.
1-5-3-6-2-4
Next, are you getting spark to ALL of the plugs? Check to make sure you are.
You said you are getting fuel-is that up to the carb? Were you able to see fuel pump out of the accelerator port in the carb when the throttle is fully depressed/pumped?
Next, try some ether (starting fluid)--lightly spray it in the carb, then try turning it over.......
Hope this helps,
Erik
