Is the battery fully charged and in good condition? I've seen batterys either low on charge or faulty causing this to happen just like you described.

If you haven't already, I'd replace or gut the quick disconnects on the fuel lines. Search this forum for more info on that. Over time the stock set up can restrict flow of fuel and cause this problem. It's a cheap upgrade and may fix this problem. Second, I'd replace the fuel filter. Again, its cheap and may solve the riddle. I suppose a bad or slightly fouled plug could cause this problem so you might change that out also. Question: Did you give it throttle when trying to start it? You may already know this, but don't touch the throttle when starting these fuel injected machines. Good luck.

BTW, what is the sale price?

Didn't someone just have this same problem? It turned out to be the fuel pressure regulator.

Check out my topic in this forum called "Running Issue." Your problem sounds very similar to mine, and alot of people have replied to it, but I haven't had a chance to check all of the possibilities yet.
