If you do get liquid gas into the cylinders, then something is wrong & wet plugs don't make for a running engine. On what do you base your conclusion of no fuel to the cylinders? Not to mean that such is impossible, but often that turns out not to be the case.

You might check the air filter,as if you have spark[I'm assuming],and gas and at least a minimum of compression,then it should start.That having been said,you probably have gas-fouled plugs,or sticking float,seeing that you said you have gas in the cylinders.---lha
