You could be 180* off on timing if you did this and weren't on the compression stroke.

To both of you. Something is not on the money here. I would double check everything again to make sure. Timing, wires, fuel pressure, filter. Go over it again one more time. Sounds like timing to me G-Reg might have it right could be something simple, Good luck

+1 crank pop pop pop means off timing. did you put your finger over #1 hole and wait for pressure to build up?
