The way I read your post is you get no spark on #1 but do get it on #'s 2,3 & 4. If that is so, I think it unlikely to be the rotor button causing the problem as it would leak the spark on all cylinders. I suggest you check for spark at the lead from the coil to the distributor cap as Tom says and if you get spark reliably, it could be a faulty distributor cap leaking the spark to ground on #1 but even then, it should keep running, though roughly so long as you have a little throttle on. If you have no throttle on, it may stop as you describe. Have you checked the porcelain insulation on #1 plug for cracks? Spark might go to ground there too.
You say you have gone through the carby so it seems to me that the problem is most likely electrical.
