Default car not starting?

went to head out a couple of hours ago started the car and let it heat up with the turbo timer set to three minutes (keys out) went to start it again and its not playing ball, its turning over ok so not the starter, getting prime from the fuel pump ok so not the fuel pump,what would be next to check could it be the spark plugs?

Fuel pump, when mine failed it would just about catch on but would never start.

No problems with a new Walbro.

1 -2 weeks later the same happened to my mate, weird hey
