I recently parked my car and when I went to crank it. All it would do is turnover. Why is that?

Check for spark and fuel then check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. if it has a carburetor make sure it goes to carburetor.

We checked all that. We cannot figure out why the fuel is not getting to the carburetor.

If it does not come through the line then the pump is bad or something is worn out like maybe a cam lobe or rod that pushes pump.
