is there any signs of it starting

check timing, check that the spark plugs leads are on the correct plugs

is it a carb or injection engine

havent got the timing 180 out have you? worth a look as ive seen a few people do this. tappets should fill themselves as it turns over a bit

Just a thought, i know you have spark, but is the coil producing a good enough spark, have you measured the resistance in the leads, as i had a similar problem with mine the other week, where it was sparking but when i checked the leads one was sparking on and off and the spark produced was cr4p.
Also have you checked your plug-gaps?
Checked your Fuel pump is working properly?
