Follow your nose.

Look where the smell came from. If it was that strong you should see some evidence like melted wire or something. Failing that look in the distributor cap.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

First place to start is remove a spark plug and reconnect the cable to it once removed. Hold the spark plug with a pair of insulated pliers on a bare piece of metal on the engine and get someone to turn over the engine. You will be looking for a spark across the spark plug electrode. Let me know if you have a spark.... u2 if you want.
