So, we have a couple of suggestions. Personally, I would go with Allan. Try starting it with one of the plug leads grounded like you are doing, but with a plug in situ. If it won"t start, it"s probably not cranking fast enough. Possibly only a weak spark or none at all at that cranking speed.
Have you checked the spark colour? and strength? Could indicate poor points, wrong gap, poor coil, poor condensor, poor battery, poor battery connections.....
Just don"t keep throwing money at it unless you are sure what the fault is...
