Default kohler help asap please

kohler help asap please
A few wks ago i rebuilt a 10hp kohler motor its ran pretty good just needed carb adjusted ! guy was coming to pick it up so i pushed it outa the garage & was going to start & fine tune carb ! WOULDNT START!!! So that really put a knot in my plow line cuz i had to call him back & tell him it wasn't ready after all ! I checked the usual & nothing obvious ! As not to drag this out this is what Ive done over the last three days !! CHANGED : points 3 times, coil twice, condenser 3 times, adjusted valves 3 times to specs 1 time by site, 3 different carbs & 3 different plugs & it does the same thing every time valves in 00.9 exh 00.18 plug gap 30 points 20 ! Anyway symptoms are as follows
crank,crank,crank & nothin, pull plug no gas in chamber so i figure vacuum leak right cuz gas pours out carb when i choke it with my hand over it ! it will fire one time maybe a pop pop but no more than 3 & that's all your gonna get till i go through the whole song & dance again & then you might get it to do it again ! i can feel good compression leaking off real slowly when turning it by hand but that's normal right? i can hear carb sucking air on intake stroke also so anyway im stumped & need new set of eyes to go over this & tell me what I'm missing they all seem to run together after a while !
