well if its got spark and fuel, then id start looking at cam timing. some thing come loose? when it cranks does it sound normal when it cranks, does it sound like its got compression? if not maybe the fule has washed down the cyl walls of all there oil so there is no compression, if everything looks fine and it sounds like there is no compression then take plugs out and put a little bit of oil in the cyl to get the rings to seal and there for compression.

this step is once u have checked everything and the motor has no compression
