If you are certain your battery is charged, make sure alll your conections are tight in the starter circuit, especially at the battery. If not, try jumping it from a car to eliminate the battery question.
You could also try to push start it. I used to park mine on a hill when the battery got flakey. Use second gear.

RE: Help with starting problem
I had problems getting mine started, called the service center. they said i wasn't getting enough gas. I bought a medicine dropper pulled the plugs out, put a couple drops of gas in each cylinder, put the plugs back in and tried firing it up. It ran for a second than died. I hit the throttle about six times and it stated.

The fact that you smell gas means to me you are getting it, but to make sure unscrew a plug and smell the end. Then check for spark and go from there. Check for spark, check for gas, and go from there. A shot of either (starting fluid) can help start arecalitrant engine.
