I think Toze is leading you the right way.

But if you've been doing a lot of no-start cranking AND smelling fuel, the unburned fuel could have washed the oil from the cylinder walls, causing a loss of compression — enough to prevent combustion. It's been reported here before.

The fix for that is to pull all the plugs to let the cylinders air out, then add about 1 teaspoon of oil to each cylinder and crank over (plugs still out) to spread the oil into the rings.
