I can turn the key on to try to start motor and it turns over, it also starts smelling like gas if you let it turn for awhile, but the motor doesn't want to start. Can you tell me what might be wrong?

Hi:
I need you to check for spark to the plugs and fuel to the engine.

Most likely one will be missing. Let me know which one. Also, I realize you smell gas which indicates the pump is working. Just make sure it's not a leak keeping it from the engine.
