It may respond differently to how much choke it requires,you may have just flooded it whilst clearing out the startup oil.

This was my thought. Assembly lube/oil causing some fouling and flooding.
From the video can hear it has good compression, just not firing up. I would have held the throttle open for a bit as well to clear any flooding out.
I rebuilt an engine for (with) a mate once. For whatever reason (I think he forgot to bring the stator side seal).. anyway he took the engine home and just needed to fit the seal and stator. When he finally got it back in the bike it was surging and wouldn't idle well at all. Upon investigation he forgot to put the seal in entirely!! Amazed that it even started.. and lucky that it never seized.
