So the battery is charged and the starter cranks but the engine doesn't turn over?

Things should be tested before you replace them , Now you're back to square one , check for spark , fuel pressure and compression , do spark first so you don't start a fire .

1 double check firing order and spark 2 make sure you have fuel at the motor, after cleaning the tank it probably drained out of the fuel lines, 3 give a shot of starter fluid and see if it fires and dies, if so, you may have to adjust the carb
