    Fuel pump would be my first guess... Get some 'start ya bastard' dump a good squirt in the intake and give it a kick or better yet get someone else to squirt it while you kick it over. Presuming you've checked for spark already?

    Dirty big huntsman being a prick and blocking the injector ports?

    Check the crank angle sensor. Could be grotty.

    It's been sitting there for two years without being touched? Damn there are a dozen things i would do before even turning it over. I'm not touching this one with a ten foot clown pole, take it to a mechanic.

    I'm a mechanic. Get someone to smack the fuel tank while your cranking it. It's probably a fuel pump.

    Yeah, I'd empty the tank, fill up with new fuel, pull the fuel line and purge the old stuff into a can.
