Built FD hasnt been started in 2 years
 
Hello, Im new here so please bare with me if Im not using this right.
So the problem I have is as follows: I bought a built FD from a guy this last weekend and it has been sitting not started for 2 years. I have drained the gas out, changed the fuel filter, cleaned the plugs ( new ones on order) and added Marvel mystery oil to the chambers to sit for 24 hours and it still just turns over and doesnt fire up. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome James. I know you've taken some good precautions, but have you actually verified you're getting spark and fuel?

I have pressure at the regulator gauge and spark. Just checked.

It doesn't even sound like it wants to start. No sputtering or anything. It sounds like it has compression, I should probably run a check on it since i have the gauges. I took the EGI fuse out and did the simple deflooding procedure and still nothing. Im lost now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Spark and Fuel (at the right time) and compression. Check all three. Having clean spark plugs does not mean you have spark. You may have a coil/electrical issue. Same with fuel. Fuel pressure does not mean you are getting fuel in the engine. You may have faulty fuel injectors. You mentioned compression. Check that. Chase down the variables and you will eventually find it. Good luck.

Figured it out! It was the primary injectors.. Got Brian from Rotorsports to slap some new ones in and she's running like a champ.

My guess was going to be fuel injectors or the equivalent of crank sensor. Glad you go it running! These things are so fun to drive.
