    I just tried all you suggested above and still no fire.  I reassembled carb by the directions in the manual to make sure I didn’t do something wrong the first time.  Still nothing.  I even did the pop test, spraying some mixed fuel into the carb air intake and still no pop. I also checked the reed valves and they look good.  I am stumped! To review:  the motor cranked without a problem but was running a little rough (mainly not idling well) so I pulled the carb to clean.  I cleaned and reassembled and now the motor want fire at all.  The carb bowl fills when I prime so fuel is getting to the carb.   I have compression, spark and fuel but no fire.  Not sure what to do next.   I would say it may be weak spark, but the motor fired easily before I cleaned the card.   Not sure what to do next.
