Have you confirmed that the fuel in good? Old fuel will usually smell bad, but won't light easily.

You said it was rotated all the way, out of adjustment. (?)

Adjust the points to .5mm or .020 inch. Turn the backplate all the way counter-clockwise. This is your beginning point. Work the plate slowly, a little at a time clockwise a short distance each time until it starts.

Perhaps it would help if you could take a picture of the inside if the cam cover where the points are so we can see how things are arragned.
