Check the simple stuff first- SPARK- FUEL-COMPRESSION- If you have all three - it will start.

Check for a torn/popped carburetor diaphragm, Propane coupler faulty ( Quad ring stuck in there). *** on the vacuum lock off line and see if any fuel comes out of the carburetor

Make sure your firing order is correct ( Spark plug closest to fan is #1) Check timing marks

You have compression it should attempt to start or run rough

Hope this helps

The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
