Default Trouble starting 129

I'm working with a 129 that's been repowered with a strong 14hp Kohler at some point in its life. It's always been a slow cranker but lately, I cannot, no matter what I do, get it to start. It has been being used for myQA42A since my 682 died and been doing a phenomenal job if it! But now...it won't start. I've got good spark, I've checked that much. It'll try to start, it'll kick over once or twice then it'll just keep cranking. Its getting frustrating because now that I have a new gearbox, I need it running. Any ideas, things I can check?

I've already removed and cleaned up all the grounds, I'm wondering about the carb? When it cranks white smoke comes out the carb. But maybe I'm wondering if there's water somewhere in the carb/lines? I just need a direction to go, thanks guys!
