this may sound stupid but may play a part. Does it crank over fast enough? ive had a few motors refuse to start because it didnt crank fast enough. Used to have to crank it at WOT to get it to run if not it would just spit n sputter, till 1 day it just refused to start ended up getting a high-performance starter (just spun faster) n solved my problem. i dont know why it needed to crank fast but did, had fine compression (190) fuel was fine and spark was fine, but stupid as it sounds that what it was, so if your compression is good and u feel timing is fine, maybe try cranking at wot or if it dont help maybe a better starter? Keep us posted as im very curious as is others to what your problem is.
