1990 760 Turbo No Start After Winter Storage

Hi:

I went to retrieve my always reliable 1990 760ti summer occasional driver from winter storage today where it has been for 5 months. It was stored in a heated warehouse, clean, cement floor - winter home to a number of collector vehicles (all of which apparently started and ran smartly when their owners retrieved them!...).

Before I put it into storage I topped up fuel, put in stabilizer and removed the battery. I put the freshly charged battery in this morning and it cranks strongly but will not fire. Does not smell like flooding, and all else looks good in engine bay, no fuel leaks etc. No drips or other oddities underneath.

I have never had any kind of no starting issue with the car. In the past when I've stored it in our unheated garage at home for the winter I have to recharge the battery from time to time, but it has always fired right up with a fresh charge.

I would appreciate ideas on narrowing down what the likely culprit might be. I was not able to pull any codes in the time I had today, and I did not have my code-pulling/resetting cheat sheet with me. Would much prefer to get it running and out of the warehouse it it could be something simple(?)rather than have to arrange towing back home to trouble-shoot/fix.

Thanks all.
