Did you put stabilizer in the fuel before storing it? Chances are also good the fuel went rancid during storage. If the car's been asleep all winter long (no start ups) be sure to pull the plugs and spray in a little start-up lubricant as well. Keep that rotor, those seals and that housing lubricated and soft.

yes i agree you cant leave these cars with rotary engines lying to long then just expect them to start as ther is that many seals in them that need lubricated,that sort of engine needs to be ran all year round.
