Default Can't get my blades to spin up

Noob here... I can't get my motor contol to spin up since I eraced my settings. It worked fine before I was overcome by stupidity and decided to get a fresh start on my settings.
I have programed my Futaba T6EX using Airman Bob's setting for beginners and I have read that they work very well for others. This includes Normal throttle with Idle up Disabled for now and all my Pitch curves etc. I used a Castle link to go into the Phoenix ESC motor controller and programed the following . Auto Lipo Hard Cutoff Heli-Fixed Eddpoints Forward Speed (tried to reverse as well) Brake Disabled Med Motor Start Med Throttle Responce Std Adv Timing 13 khz Normal Current limiting Med Heli Gain High Spool Speed
As you can see most of my settings are default for Heli's and I have tried a few different combo's that others have suggested. Still won't spin up. Worked fine before. Yes I do have my Throttle hold off. I have put my throttle stick in variou suggested positions for startup without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you reverse your throttle channel? Futaba needs to be reversed for every speed controller I know of.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I did reverse channel 3. I have tried it both ways as well as reversing the throttle in the Castle Link program.
