Does it even sputter a bit if you squirt fuel in the throat of the carb? if not, disconnect the engine to tractor wiring connector to eliminate the key switch and kill circuit. If it runs at that point, then the key switch or kill circuit is at fault. You also must verify compression. An engine needs fuel, spark, timing, and compression to run. On the carbs, the base settings for the mixture screws should be lightly seat them, then back them out 3 turns. Once it is running, then you can fine tune the mixture to best suit your engine.
