If you don't have a battery charger, now is the time to invest in one. I have this one from Harbor Freight (
http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/battery/10-2-55-amp-6-12-volt-battery-charger-engine-starter-66783.html) and have used it many times . . . the 55 amp starting setting can be useful in situations like these.
As someone who has mucked with the fuel system and then had starting issues, and also someone who was smart enough run out of fuel, I know what a pain in the arse these can be start up again. You can easily drain a battery trying to prime the fuel system again. If you don't have enough juice, it won't turn fast enough to fire. Use the charger.
IF the battery is charged and if you have the charger on while cranking, then seriously let it crank for 30 seconds. It will seem like forever, but if it doesn't start the first time, just let it cool a good while so as to not burn up your starter. If you get any sign of life, just keep cranking.
