you need to give us more info. What does it do and what doesn`t it? What have you tried and checked so far ?
There`re several other topics about non starting bikes like the most recent just a few below this one.
After 10 years I hope you changed the belts before attempting to start it.

If the fuel lines from the tank are the wrong way round there will be no pressure to the injectors.

Did you get the new fuel pump from Merlin Motorsports?
I bought one of their, excellently priced, fuel pumps two years ago. I failed to notice that the large and small pump terminals ( + & - ) are the opposite way round compared to the original pump. When I first tried it, the pump ran backwards, which seriously interfered with my attempts to start the bike :roll: .

Don't run your bike on starting fluid while trying to sort this out. Not good at all for the engine.
