Those seals would have had to have been shredded to cause it not to at least attempt to start. Had you tried bumping it? Also, did you check the rings whilst you had the barrel off? Otherwise, have you checked for spark/fuel flow etc?

My guess; You're putting the seals in the wrong way round.

Hi , springs facing crank , also did leak test using inner tube spark plug was only obvious leak . Suspect seals as i say no draw at carb when turning over. John
