No major set ups changes were done. Just some light detailing and cleaning.
Any list of check points that I can run through will be appreciated.

Ric,
What small black plastic OEM fuel line did you replace with standard rubber hose? Did you use a fuel injected type fuel hose? Whenever I do a start-up for a newly installed motor that has not ran for a while I checked the following:
1. Check fuel pressures (control, system and residual).
2. Pressure test for air leak/s (vacuum).
3. A fully charged battery (12.5 volts minimum).
4. Presence of ignition or sparks during cranking.
Turn the ignition switch and it should run and idle. Follow the above suggested guidelines and you'll get it running. Keep us posted.
