Okay just have to clarify. The purpose of sticking you finger in the spark plug hole was to feel compression pressure as the piston came up or were you just feeling the piston was at TDC? You do it for the first reason I stated and then stop on TDC as you keep turning the engine. If this was done pull a couple spark plugs and dump a tablespoon of gas in the hole a screw the plugs back in connect the plug wires and try to start. If it fires there is a problem with your carb. Did you check for gas flow at the bowl drain on the bottom of the carb? Gas has to get inside the carb to get in the engine to run. Float or float needle valve may be stuck in new carb. Is the choke cable adjusted to completely close the choke plate? On the ignition does a test light flash on and off if connected to the distributor lead quickly as the points open and close while the the engine is cranked? I also agree with rwb, since it runs poorly you need to set the valve clearances.
