Question 87 TII no start?

I have a 1987 TII w/ RTEK 2.1 ecu w/ 680cc pri 1000cc sec Engine Rebuild less than 5k ago, premix 100:1

This car has never not started, except once, I was driving and it just died, didn't want to start, but after I popped the hood it fired back up and no problems until now. I don't know what was up with that, but could be the culprit...

I installed a new turbo and injectors and pulled(tuned) a bunch of fuel out under vacuum to get it to Idle nicely. It was running great, I took her around the block and one of the 1000cc got stuck open, or clogged cause it to run on one rotor. But it would still fire up and run on one rotor.

Now I got the injector back and put it in and it doesn't want to start? It has fuel pressure, and I put in new plugs and they seem wet (not soaked) with fuel after cranking. But it doesn't even sound like it wants to start? no sputters or anything?
Battery was about 11.8v it was cranking nicely so I don't think thats the prob, but I did recharge the battery last night.

I didn't adjust any timing, or mess with anything other than pull the upper mani and the injectors/rails.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Probably flooded. Go through the deflooding procedure in the FAQ.

You may have been right, although no deflooding procedure needed, or the battery could have been a little dead? She fired right up today! WOOT!!!
