I had the same probablem. I just put my engine back into my teggy and it would turn over but wouldnt start. I checked my thermostat ground and saw it was loose. I tightened it up and it started right away. I know you said your grounds were good but check it. It saved me

If it will run with starter fluid then it's fuel related most likely, Did you put fresh gas in it?
