Car wont start after sitting a while...need ideas. Options

[biosurfer1]

So after 8 months of sitting, moving to my new house next week got my a$$ in gear to get my 914 back on the road...and now it wont start.

Background Info: Back in April, the 914 went on jackstands to replace the brake calipers and convert the tranny to sideshift. Brakes are now done, and the tranny was rebuilt and installed. I didnt start it for so long because I couldnt get the shift linkage adjusted. I know, bad excuse but with a new job and whatnot, it just got put on the back burner.

Anyways, now I want to drive it to the new house so I started going through it and trying to solve the problems. I tried starting it the other night and all it would do is crank very slowly but wouldnt not turn over. After talking with a friend, I found that the tranny ground strap was not installed. I got a new one, cleaned all connections and hooked it up. Now the car will crank like normal, but it will still not start.

I went through everything I could think of but nothing helped, so now i'm looking for suggestions on where to go from here.

List of what has been checked:
accelerator and throttle linkage ok
all hoses replaced and connected correctly
battery fully charged
all grounds cleaned connected correctly
AAR recently cleaned out and works
plenty of gas in the tank

So where do I go from here??

BTW, its a 1971 1.7 with FI.
