Remove the spark plus and check for congestion. Reconnect wire to plug and hold plug againt metal of engine while someone trys to crank. Look for a spark at the points. Water in the carb and gas tank is the usual problem. Ignition Points corroded is #2. See if you have a round float bowl on the bottom of the carb with a small nut on it's bottom holding it up. If you have one it takes a 7/16 or 1/2 socket wrench to loosen that nut a turn or two and let the bowl drain out. If so when you smell raw gas retighten the nut. Any water will show up as bubble drops -the gas will flow away. don't try to crank again until the gas has evaporated.
