Pull one spark plug, put the wire back on it,ground the threaded part to the frame somewhere and have somebody try to start it.Look at the plug and see if there's a spark.The darker it is outside or inside a garage, the easier it is to see a spark.Just make sure your clear of all the moving parts in there.This will narrow it down to an electrical or fuel problem.

You don't just guess if you are getting a spark or not, do a spark test.
You are rambling a bit, can't tell if you have done it or not.
Yank a spark plug wire from a plug, stick a phillips screwdriver in it, have someone crank while holding the screwdriver close to the block - Goes without saying, you grip the plastic part, unless you like nasty jolts.
Alternatively, if no one is available to crank, position it in such a way that the screwdriver shaft is close to, but not touching, the block ,,, While observing it under the hood, while cranking.
Spark jumps from screwdriver to block, then you have a spark.
With all that cranking, you'll probably want to make sure the battery is charged, you can cause more damage cranking with a weak battery.
