Default 83 Robin EZGO has spark no start

new fuel pump, cylinder, piston rings and gaskets replaced, has spark, has fuel, has air. cranks over, but won't fire. Never took off the fly wheel so it should be okay. It did run roughly...took a while to crank up. Was killing the battery. Kids took it around the block and the carb adjustment pin backed out...it hasn't started since. found an adjustment pin and replaced it, but still no luck as yet.
Thank you for any advice you may offer.

If you didn't replace the crank seals it might be like fighting a 6 arm ninja!
A new top end will give you good compression but leaky seals will cause hard start issues from no crankcase pressure.
I would start there.

Well, he took it out and spun the piston around....still nothing! Won't fire. Still has spark, compression etc etc...he's quite frustrated at this point!

Is the spark plug wet or dry, is there gas on the plug?

if the carb you have falls apart when running it's trying to commit suicide and no longer wants to go on living. You need to pull a Kavorkian on it and help it along it's way.
They will run with the piston in backwards, they just run like crap that way.

you said that you Never took off the fly wheel, so the crankshaft seals could not have been replaced.
bad crank seals can cause the problem your talking about.
