My thought is to check that you are pumping air. Good suction at the carb? Pull the header and see if you can feel air moving when it spins over?
Many moons ago at a part-time job:
I had a customer bring in a lawnmower that would not start. We tried everything you've done, so far. We had spark. Good compression, Gas and starting fluid...no luck.
Finally pulled the muffler it was built around the shaft and found a dirt dobber nest clogging the exhaust port??? 8O

Must have been a lawnboy. I have seen that happen before.
