Well the beast lives. I finally got it to start by holding the throttle wide open, and cranking the starter for a long time. What I did notice was that it didn't seem to have the proper fast idle, but wanted to die when the throttle was closed. I didn't really have much time to systematically observe, because the engine warms up pretty quickly in any case. Stopping and restarting was OK, and that time fast idle seemed correct, running about 2000 rpm at first.

So I think I need to check out the fast idle operation, maybe something is a little sticky and didn't want to move after sitting for a couple of weeks. I wonder if this is also related to the problem I had on the very first ride where the engine died and was reluctant to restart or to idle.
