It could be the plugs, might have flooded them beyond the point of return when it was laid over (would have been idling on its side while lots of fuel was possible let through). Only way you'll know for sure is to try a set of known good plugs in it. Sounds unlikely but bad plugs will cause a lot of head scratching, especially seeing as you've taken them all out and possibly put them back in other cylinders.

Check all the major electrical connections also: battery terminals, negative leads, starter relay positive connections, coil wiring etc. See if any wires are loose on these parts.
