If it`s a lack of sparks then cranking it over is gonna make it worse as battery slowly discharges...? Plugs will be wet and thus even less likely to fire up...? So quick check to look for a spark (one wet finger up HT lead and firmly grip earth while assistant cranks starter!!!). Then suitably charged with energy start looking for fuelside problem.
Anyone following above advice does so at their own risk, and should remove heart pacemakers first.
