Not sure if it's related but did you put fresh petrol in it?

Was it sat for 6 years without being started at all?

How much of the old pertrol was left in the tank when you put some fresh in? Check the ECU for error codes, check the plugs, dizzy cap and rotor arm. Check the AFM, maybe this has seized up?
