Serious Starting Issue! HELP , ADVice !
bike : 2004 honda cbr 600rr
issue : doesnt start... kinda
the bike sat for 2-3 months
the gas that was in it smelled like crap ... it went bad
i dumped the tank, pulled the fuel pump from the gas tank
let the remaining fuel in tank air out , there wasnt much left just a couple drops the siphon couldnt get or dumping the tank over couldnt expell.
the tank and fuel pump were left in open air in garage over night
the line to the injectors was left hanging so the fuel in line was expelled also.
then i put it all back together .
2 gallons of fresh 91 octane /w sta-bil mixed in
battery charged
the bike will crank, the fuel pump primes ( i can hear the whine /w click)
i hit the starter button and....
nothing
it just cranks, doesnt start
i spray starter fluid in air intake... it fires right up but dies
and now im stuck for what the real problem is or something i missed ?

that was a serious question. should i attempt to just dump some kind of injector cleaner in the tank? or is this a take more stuff apart and clean it out. ive never done this procedure before so any tips / tricks informative info of what to expect, look out for etc
if im taking it apart would it be better to clean plugs too while im in there ...or just spend money on new injectors and plugs ?

How did the bike run before sitting for a few months? It's definitely lack of fuel delivery since it runs on starting fluid, but only sitting for 2-3 months shouldn't be long enough to damage or clog up the system.
How long did you try cranking it to start it before? It will take a bit of cranking over to purge the air from the lines and build up pressure in the fuel system. If that doesn't work the next thing I would do is check fuel pressure and injector pulse to make sure the fuel pump is working & the injectors are firing.
