Back to basics my friend.

Remove #1 plug.  Is it wet or dry??
Wet- No spark or just flooded.
Dry- find out why fuel is not drawing into the cylinder.

Ground the plug base and crank the engine to verify spark at the plug tip.

Disable the other three plugs.  Crank the engine with finger on #1
plug hole until you feel compression building.  Make sure mag snaps at
the top of that stroke to confirm it is not 180 degrees out.

Good luck.
