The starter problem might be the contacts inside the solenoid inside the starter. NAPA used to sell a kit to replace the contacts. It might also be fried cables. Sometimes old cables get overheated and they don't conduct well. The engine may just be flooded. If you are sure you have spark and that its timed right, I'd let it sit a day or two so any excess fuel evaporates from the cylinders and the spark plugs while I troubleshoot the starter. Then I'd give it a quick shot of starting fluid and no choke. If a non-flooded engine won't at least try to fire on instant start, there is a problem besides the carb.
