You've identified the misfiring cylinder.

The problem is ignition or carburetion. If the cylinders in question are getting spark, then it's a carburetor issue.

The smell seems to indicate the cylinder is getting gas, but no spark to ignite it.

Pull number one spark plug from the engine and then reattach it to the plug wire. Now crank the engine and see if the plug is firing outside of the engine.

My guess is you will need to replace the plugs again and fire it up again.

Check for moisture inside the dist cap too.
