Mostl likely you need to re-prime and put a new battery in -- get a good one, proper size -- they are huge. If you aren't getting white smoke, you are short fuel.
Pump the primer at least fifty times -- it may be on the pump (plunger type) or on the fuel filter (palm type) -- pump until you hear the fuel hiss through the pressure valve in the fuel filter housing. Takes forever if there is air in there.
Next, loosen all the injector lines at the injectors about 3/4 turn, then crank with the throttle wide open until no more air comes out, then retighten. You may also want to bleed the IP -- there is a bleed screw somewhere on it, but I don't know where. You can also loosen the return line and check for air, too, but usually just cranking until the lines are free of air will do it.
Plan on recharging the battery once or twice before it lights.
It will start as soon as you get fuel to the injectors. Pause and re-glow once in a while, too.
If it has been sitting without having the battery charged, I also suspect you need to at least charge it, if not replace it.
