Go to Engine FAQs, Shelby. Check out "Outboard won't start".

One wild guess: Are you positive you have good spark from your "rebuilt" magneto? Jumping the gap in plugs laying against the head is not an adequate test. It needs to jump a 1/4" open air gap.
Second wild guess: are you positive about your belt timing?
I'm betting it's one of those two.
