Did you treat the gas with a stabilizing agent like stabil? It's quite possible the injectors have been stuck with gas varnish.

no i havent hmm did i have to treat it b4 or i can do it now and how to use it??

might have to pull your injectors and let the tips of em soak in a top engine cleaner like seafoam or something generic. Id also drain the gas you have and use it for a bonfire. fill your tank back up with a couple gallons and pour another bottle of top engine cleaner/fuel injector cleaner through your gas tank

drain tank... put fresh gas in...

charge the batt

I wouldnt pull the injectors... but you should run fuel injector cleaner (buy at napa / autozone etc)

check vacuum lines, wires, plugs...

not much to do really...

It only takes a month or two and gasoline will start to varnish out. The gas even has a varnish odor to it. If it's real bad, you might have to get the injectors professionally cleaned. Each injector has a micro screen filter in them. And if they're completely clogged with varnish you may not get them going on your own.
