Check the spark plug, you might want to put this in the tech section for some more heads up.
Do a compression test!
Did you replace the ignition switch?

i i tried dumping gas in the head,
by dumping gas into the head could you have possibly washed down the rings.
When you guys say washed out the rings by dumping fuel in the spark plug hole what do you exactly mean??
Get a repair manual, start with the most obvious broken part(SOUNDS LIKE THE IGNITION) and begin the process of elimination. You should find your problem this way depending on your mechanic skills.
