Certainly worth double-checking the timing, IMO. In addition to the usual check,
I'd check :
1) that the timing mark is still close to TDC, by looking down the #1 plug hole
and checking the piston top.
2) That #1 is firing on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke.
3) That the firing order is right.

Have you checked that the carbs have fuel in them ? Or tried squirting a little
starting fluid in them ?
Also, how far can you pull a spark from a disconnected plug lead ? If you can't
get at least 3/16", the plugs may not fire under compression. Have you checked
for spark at all of the plugs ?
