OK, so I finally got a good starter, and I already had the rest of the engine together. Started the engine the first time no problem (video).

Hadn't put water in yet, so shut it off real quick to do that, now it won't fire a lick! Still have blue spark.

What do I start looking for? I'm pretty much stumped, cause I changed NOTHING carb and spark wise.

IC engine needs fuel, spark, air, compression and timing.

if spark is good, and air is good and you havn't changed timing.. and assuming valves ain't hung and you didn't hole a piston.. that leaves fuel.

try here on startin' fluid.. if she fires off.. you know it's fuel.

Drain the water from the radiator & engine block
then see if the engine will start. You may have an internal leak of coolant. Hal
 
Tried starting fluid, nothing. Fuel is on and there is some in the tank. I'll drain the water and let it dry out and go from there.
