Is it getting gas? Is it flooded? Check your compression again after you get the engine warmed up.

 

i'm getting fuel and spark...but motor won't start.

 

those comp. #'s are way low, are you testing with the tb open?have you tried putting a cap of oil in the cylinders to see if compession changes, if not do a leakdown test.
could be a # of things, valve seats, seals, rings

It should still start. Anything over 100 psi is enough to get them started.
