First thing punctuation marks are your friend, use them.
Second it sat for 3-4 months by your own admission. Most likely the fuel in the bowl was drained back to tank or through the injectors. The excessive cranking would be from having to refill the bowl and lines again. Did you start it multiple times after driving it some? The oil would have to be changed asap as any fuel in the injectors would have bled into the cylinders and passed the rings in that amount of time.
