Not to be insulting, but check the basics. Petcock lever pointing down, transmission in neutral, ignition on, clutch lever in, engine stop switch to run, and then hit the starter switch.
Make sure you have the vacuum hose connected to the petcock and carb.
If you decide to look at the diaphram again, you might want to disassemble it and start over. Maybe someone can check out the following to confirm that I remember it correctly.
The needle has, from the top, the spacer, the e-clip, a washer, and the spring.
The lock plate has a dimple which is installed down, toward the spacer. It actually sits on the spacer and hold the lock plate off the washer a bit. I have no idea why. The plate has two holes for the screws and three slots. One is at 2 o'clock, one at 6 o'clock and another at 10 o'clock. The 2 and 10 o'clock slots uncover two holes in the diaphram. Again I have no idea why they are there.
Finally the upper lip of the diaphram has a small tab that goes into a groove in the carb body. I assume that this locates the assembly in the correct position.
BTW, you might want to do the "spark plug door" mod so it will be easier to remove the spark plug in the future.
