ke 100 will not start

[1995dj]

i purchased a none running ke 100 for me and the lad to work on and ride. There was evidence that work had been carried out as there were new gaskets. We were unable to get it started so stripped the engine and purchased a second non runner and built one engine from the best parts. We checked every thing as we dismantled and apart from a bit of scoring on the piston could not see anything which would stop it from starting. It was rebuilt exactly to the haynes manual with new mains, new crank seals, new piston and rings. It STILL wont start or even fire. I've now tried a second carb and new ht coil - Still not even a pop. Today we rigged up a drill to spin the engine over and strobed the timing. it was good a little off very little but still can't get it to fire. I'm keen to follow the project through and ride it but am at a loss what else to try.
Can anyone suggest anything ?
the points have been cleaned and the plug has been changed for a new one. the fuel is new and we have tried bumpstarting down a hill - not even a pop

hm that's interesting, its not firing ? and i assume it has points. have you filed the points ? also if the KE came with a battery it could require a good (fully charged) battery before it will fire.

hope this helps.
