whoa- DO NOT crank the motor with the plug wires pulled- this can blow the ignition system.
you can crank the motor with plugs on the wires and the plugs grounded to the motor-
this is an important difference !
--------------------------
when cranking the motor do you smell raw gas from the exhaust pipe ? if so, you probably have fuel.
so spark may be the problem.

Good Luck! You don't seem too bummed out! I've found that a little trouble along the way creates memories that stick with ya! I remember trips where I got wet or cold a lot better than the perfect trips with nothing eventful happening. Keep the good attitude and enjoy the trip. Ride safe!
