FIRST...YES, I did read your post. But obviously your missing something or it would be running. You would think someone needing help would be a little less of a smart a$$... Especially since the post isn't getting a whole lot of response from anyone else....

plugs and wires are new
Just because they are new doesn't mean they are installed correctly.....Does it backfire thru the carb? Sounds like a timing or ignition problem to me....Did you replaced the pickup coil yet??

there is no lack of fuel though.. if anything too much but Im 99% sure its not flooding.. after removing the spark plugs they dont smell like gas and are not wet..
It's possible that you have a fuel problem as well....With all the cranking and stuff I'm sure you've been doing, there should be some indication of unburnt fuel on the plugs. If the carb is working, fuel will reach the plugs whether the engine runs or not...If you have a spare carb anywhere, try it, what do you have to loose....
