You have spark (presuming timing is correct) and fuel (presuming the correct amount of fuel) so it can only be an air problem. That big hose... is it in anyway connected to something that either carries intake air or oil breather system?

Have you tried a tin of Bradex easy start? That'll rule out fuel issues.
You checked the engine earths?
You can have a visual spark that's not strong enough inside a chamber.
Have you checked the flap inside the meter for movement?
