If it's sparking okay then it must be a fuel problem. If filling up with an extra 5 litres doesn't help, perhaps disconnect the fuel line going into the carby & crank it over, if it's a mechanical fuel pump (or simply turn the ignition to the on position, if it's an electrical fuel pump), & see if any petrol spurts out. If not then it's the fuel pump. If so, then it's not the fuel pump.

problem is ive known cars to run the battery flat in the time a mechanical pump takes to prime the lines
i can see in pictures it has a mechanical fuel pump but explaining to someone that tried to pulll the sparkplug striaght out with pliers instead of unscrewing it, how to remove the fuel line might be tricky
i might be risky and get her to crank it for a while and if it doesnt react to chuck a coke bottle cap of fuel down the carby so it may run long enough to get fuel up the lines

ok so she pulled the fuel line from the pump to the carb and it was dry when it turned over
she chucked 5 liters of fuel in and it eventually sprayed fuel out while turning over but still no start even with new filter and fuel straight down the carb
may be a faulty pressure relieve valve in the pump
