Check the cam belt timing marks add up. Check the static ignition timing. Make sure the dizzy is pointed in the right direction. (Cyl no. 1 etc)
Things shouldn't get spat out of the inlet unless the engine got put together upside down (we've seen that before!). Is it possible its been in bits recently? People sell things when they get stuck. Look for tell tale marks and oily fingerprints.
If you've got fuel and you've got sparkys then its possible they're just not actually in the right place at the right time.
Generally an inspecting mechanic would assume an engine was assembled correctly.
