Default Re-jetted, now it won't start. (Help please)

I just jetted my 03 400ex for the first time. Now it won't start at all. I put in a 160 main with a 42 pilot, and took the choke out. Neddle in 3rd position, fuel screw out 3 turns. I put on curtis sparks x-6 and a uni filter with no lid. The gas is on,and the fuel line is on the carb. The kill switch is in the middle position. When I push the starter all is does is crank nothing else. Every time I check the plug it is wet. Should I try a new plug? Please help I don't know what else to do.

Yes try a new plug for starters. You may want to check and make sure you have spark. Check your work, make sure you have everything plugged in and assembled properly.

try pumping the throttle 2 or 3 times before hitting the start button. then hit the start button without giving it any gas. most people can get their bikes started without the choke when using the 42 pilot, however in cold weather i still have to use the choke. a new plug might help.
