HELP - 8V92 will not start

[ronmarabito2002]

If you got those injectors dry, it might take a while to get fuel
through and the engine fire. Also, I assume the engine is cranking at
a pretty good speed. Weak batteries won't spin the engine fast enough
to get a compression ignition.

I spent 35 minutes once repeatedly cranking before I got it to run.
