OK, so if your carb plumbing is right, you have spark, then you need compression.

There are a couple things that still concern me.

1. Your valve clearances should be about .003 or .004 for the intake valve. You should be about .005 for the exhaust valve. (.015 is too much clearance)

2. You really need to go on Youtube and view a video on how to check the timing of the engine and camshaft. Then verify yours is correct.

3. if you have fuel and you have spark, do you have compression? (improper valve timing can cause problems)


The cheap carbs are not always ready to go out of the box. You may need to install different size jets and possibly check the float level. They are made in china normally geared towards the scooters, not buggies.
