I presume you ignition timing is set correctly and
the correct wires are on the correct plugs. Since you are using a carb, it
could be an air leak, but if you put fuel into the intake it should have started
and ran until exhausting it - so not certain its your air path.
Did you do a compression check? Do you get
the usually "whoomp" sound when you pull the prop through?
A bit more information would be good.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Won't start
Tried to start my just overhauled engine.
Did
cough a couple of times after I dumped a bit of fuel in through the
intake ports.
There is fuel in the carb bowls.
May have an air
leak somewhere in intake path.
I think I read not to use ether,
but use WD40 instead?
Should I spray some Marvel Mystery Oil into the
cambers to get better sealing?
No more time to experiment today, so any
tips for tomorrow are appreciated.
