You need a certain cranking speed for an engine to start.

Don't go off the charger, you need to test the battery voltage.

Try bump starting it, can't do any harm.

Aye you need a good bit of momentum to get the piston velocity up!

Each plug only fires once per two revs of the engine. Did you turn it over enough revs to see if it kept on sparking ?
