Hi Able:
"Crank" to me means turn over.
"Fire" means actually try to run.
If it won't crank and you have a new battery and starter, I'd be checking the terminal connections, wires, cround connection, and solenoid. If all of those are good then we need to start checking the engine condition. Recently running or sitting for 5 years and full of rust?

OK
Old Dude wisdom time.
We need:
- Spark at the plugs, and
- Fuel in the jugs.
Step 1 - pull a spark plug - if it's got a bad case of the uglies, pull all of them. If the plugs are "wet" it's an indication that you're getting gas. Dry means no gas.
- Connect a good plug to a lead, hold against the block, and spin it over to check the spark. Hot and blue is good.
- It doesn't hurt to do a compression test at this point just to get an idea of how healthy the engine is.
- Replace all of the plugs if fouled, burnt, etc.
Fuel - Should be fresh. Old and stale could be gelled in carb or injectors.
Will leave you with this to play with.
Cheers.
