Britten Norman BN2 Islander cold start and nothing happens

I have been attempting a cold dark start for this aircraft. a pre flight checks have been done. after selecting the engine start switch nothing happens. I’ve even tried CTRL E and no rotation. What gives

Have you ticked all the items on the in cockpit checklist? If you look to your right, in the pocket next to the right hand seat, there’s a checklist you need to tick off.

Almost certainly the intake covers left on, or whatever they are called.

I never primed the engines. It started after that.
