Do not pull start it It can bend rods and break crankshafts.
First loosen the starter and wiggle it to be certain it is not jambed in the ring gear (it happens)
If this is a no go:
Have you been leaving the fuel turned on under the tank at the sediment bowl? (from your description of its poor running, at least some of that could be rich mixture) It can also fill the engine with fuel allowing hydraulic lock from gasoline in the cylinders. Which can also blow head gaskets.

Check the oil level and smell it to assure it is nor mostly gasoline. If it looks thin, it may be necessary to drain the oil and refill.
Remove the sparkplugs. That assures that there is no hydraulic lock (water in the cylinder/s)
Then, with the ignition off, try to crank it.

If it now cranks, and stuff blows out of the holes, find out what it is, and repair.

Let us know how things proceed. If this is more than two pages old, please restart a new thread so we stay with it. JimN
