Rotary not starting

the rundown is I bought this car and the engine all apart in plastic bins. I put the engine together and it's not even making a pop while cranking.. I have fuel cause the down pipe smells like a gas station. I pulled the leading plug to check spark and I'm getting that.

any ideas on what way to go? Thanks in advance.... I'll get a video going
