Default turns over but wont fire?

i bought an 07 midwest 90 kids quad.the motor was seized,so i unseized and replaced piston and rings,in doing so the marks i made on the valve sprocket? or mabye the cam sprocket? the sproket on the head rubbed off.so i put back together the best i could and now the quad just sputters and wont fire.seems the gas is not making it to the sparkplug.i have tried starting fluid but still will not fire.i have good spark,i havent a compression tester but i think it is low.im thinking timing or valve timing not in sinc with flywheel.when i set the flywheel to tdc the valves should be closed with a .004 gap? is this correct? or should they be right tight? am i on the right track? any help or suggestions will be appreciated.thanks and ride on!!!
