You're just hoping. If you've got a nicely charged battery, try a normal start, but most likely you'll need to go to 3/4 to wide open throttle and keep cranking. Sometimes you get lucky and it will fire up. If you don't, then you need to pull the fuse and crank enough to get it to start popping and trying to start. That's your cue that the compression has come back up along with an oil coating on the cylinder walls.
Part of the problem is the wash down on the cylinder walls. What's in the combustion chamber will evaporate to a larger degree, but now the oil has been washed off the cylinder walls and the rings can't get compression when you first start cranking... making the new fuel coming in have a continuing wash down effect if you have't done the efi fuse trick first.
