Possible: Timing is off, or carb is out of adjustment. I would have the timing checked. Timing might be off right at the crank and cam. Chain drive. It can slip or just have too much slack, depends on mileage.

no The starter should engage whether the plugs are fouled or not. However, the engine may not start if enough plugs are fouled.

If you have caused the carburetor float level or other settings to be significantly changed, the engine will flood and it will not start.
