Vulcan 500 not turning over

My 1990 EN500 Vulcan will not turn over. It cranks and cranks.

Some of the things I have done:

1) Took carb and disassembled and cleaned it. Put a new gasket on the bowl.
2) New fuel line and new vent line.
3) Cleaned the tank with muriatic acid.
4) Installed new petcock.
5) Put clean high octane fuel in the tank.
6) Charged the battery.
7) Installed new spark plugs.

I tried to crank it on full choke first and then half choke. Just cranks.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Muriatic totally cleaned the tank....better than POR 15 and the others. Radiator shops do the same thing only for $150. Lowes charges $8 a gallon.

The engine will not turn over. Actually had the plugs out today when I put in the 2 new ones. Had to buy a socket at Advanced Auto because mine was too thick and my "good tools" are locked up in the Subaru dealership I work at.
