Hi Jason,

From your description, there's NO reason it shouldn't run. So let's backtrack. My first thought was "fuel", till I saw the wet plugs comment.

How about, "I've checked the ignition, its working." Could you expand on this? How you checked it, etc.

And, "I checked the timing belt and it appears to be in good working order" Did you look thru the oil filler hole to see if the camshaft actually turns as someone cranks it? (A recent post had a belt with stripped off cogs under the crank pulley. It was unbroken but wouldn't turn.)

I'm more at home with 240s, but will try this post to get the ball rolling for you.
