But you have *5* good cylinders. I think it should start, but I
would expect it to run poorly.

My off-the-wall guess: rodent damage. Check the air cleaner for
a mouse nest (no air, no start).  Check the wiring for signs of
gnawing (no/weak/missing spark, no start).

My really off-the-wall guess: a mouse got deep into the intake
and clogged an open valve or three (especially since there are
three cylinders in a row).
