Storage....
With this thing sitting up for over a year, I'm going to assume it wasn't prepared for storage before you put it to sleep.
The 717 is a really good engine. There are so many things that can be wrong, I think I'd just start going over everything.
You know the mpem works, or you wouldn't have fire.
I'd say, it's most likely your carbs are either going to need to be cleaned or rebuilt.
The red light and siren.........I've never heard them with a siren before.
The advanced mode on the DESS......you can try.
With the lanyard cap off, press the start stop button 5 times. You shoul hear one long and one short beep. Then, put the cap on. When you put the cap on, if you hear any other beeps, count them. Re-post them in the forum. If you don't hear any additional beeps, then that is a good sign that the engine is ready to start, providing the fuel system, etc....are clean and ready to go..........

Advanced test....
Then your advanced test is good. That means you must have something simple going on....a sensor or somthing of the like. I'm going to take a peak at the manual and see what I can come up with. Check this post again later and see if I've edited with more info.
MORE INFO: O.K., I looked in the manual and I need more info about the red light. Is it the little light on the fuel gage, that signals low oil? Or is it one of the LED gages? As for the surging, it may be caused from the amount of time it sat up. You may end up cleaning the carbs........

Is the injector tank full of oil? The light comes on when the level is low. If the light is on and the level is not low than the switch is bad.
