98 stx 900 no electronics working and won't start without starter fluid

Hello,
I just purchased a 98 Stx 900 for 2000.00 Hope that was a decent deal. It runs strong once its running and has no problem starting again, once its warm, but it won't start cold without starter fluid. Any idea why that is? Also no electronics work at all, Trim, speedo, or fuel and oil guage. Fuses are fine? Any direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks much,
Rob
