You seem to be stating contradictory terms. Lets clear them up. "Fire" is a term used to describe the firing of the spark plug. If you have "no fire" then you have no spark. But you state, that you see spark...... I think I know what you mean, but you need to know how to describe the problem. You can't get the engine to start and run. Doesn't mean you don't have "fire".
I don't know how you found Matt G's static timing procedure. The link doesn't work anymore....
Probably should be deleted. He no longer hangs out on here anyway.
As far as where the issue actually is..... see below.

Seems low.... But it's probably ok.
Here's the spec:

Like Roland asked, do you have 12V at the coil when you try to start it? Good place to start. I assume you do if you see spark...... but I'm inclined to be skeptical.
If you do in fact have fire, there are only two other possibilities. Either you aren't getting (any or enough) fuel, or you don't have compression. That being either the ACR (Automatic Compression Release) is not working correctly, or you have a blown head gasket, stuck valve.... broke rod. (Don't laugh, we've seen people who didn't have any idea the piston wasn't moving up and down.) Pretty simple little machines. Just need air, fuel, and fire to run. It's not getting one of them.
