It sounds like you have spark and you have fuel. There is not much else to
check, but the valve timing could be off. Set the rotor so that cyl. #1 is
at TDC on compression storke and take off the valve cover. If both valves
are not closed, that would be the problem. The timing chain has skipped.
(You could also do a compression test and it would show if the valves are
closing at the proper time.)
