if its not firing with fuel or instant starting fluid down the plug hole you might have a timing issue. any chances the timing as slipped/moved?

fuel cap breather blocked . 8)
I don't know who first put this idea up ,but I've pinched it and have used it ever since  :-\
I think it was oldtimer or oldyz or someone old   ;D  8)  
anyway hope it runs well with the next effort or tomorrow. :)

if you put fuel down the plug hole or areostart and it dosnt fire it the problem IS IGNITION as you have fuel there but no ignition.i had the same problem with my 1973 cr250m the ignition coil was new but faulty.just sit back and think. you have spark.you have put fuel in cylinder via the plug hole and still not firing it is ignition.
cheers

Also , if it was running fine before you changed the jets over, there is a good chance it is in the carby. Make sure the slide is in properly and cable hasn't been pulled out of the top of the carby. A bike is impossible to start if the throttle is stuck half way.
