    could be a fueling problem. You can disconnect the fuel line to see if petrol is being pumped through...

    At least you won't starve!

    I'd be checking for a spark. If it's got fuel and you've been spinning the motor for ages, the tail pipe will stink of petrol. If that's the case stop with the cranking as unburnt fuel isn't good for the cat.
