Is the engine turning over with the starter? Or is it not turning?
If turning the motor, then is it slow? Or does it spin it and it just doesn't start?

Have you tested the voltage to the Red wires at the Ignition coils? Maybe when cranking with the starter, this voltage is dropping down.
If it is cranking slowly, measure the voltage at the battery, then move you positive test lead to the post on the starter motor. Note the difference. Possibly the cables are causing the starter to receive less than battery voltage under load.
Also have you had the carbs apart? Clean, and bench set/ synced? Have you checked compression? Valve clearances? What does the spark plugs look like, New?
