Do a compression test to verify if the rotary valve is rotating. You might also remove the carbs and look down the induction tubes with a flashlight to check if the rotary valve is turning. Does it fire when you prime it?

Take the clutch off and check the PTO crank seal

Thanks for your help, I did a compresion test and pulled the top end off. Turned out there was a hole in the top of the piston the size of a dime. All fixed and running great..
