Chuck ,I don"t think it really matters how fast it rotates,,,,I mean, how fast does a Harley crank rotate when you kick start it?
As long as it has a compression cycle, and there is fuel in there, and the spark arrives at the right time, it will fire. If it is not rotating fast enough, it will just kickback.

You say it has spark and the injectors are firing, we assume that the timing is right. I would try starting it for a few times, then stop pull a plug, see if it is wet. If it is not wet, there is no fuel injecting. If it is wet then there is either no spark at the right time, none at all, or the fuel is not burnable.

So I would check that the plug is sparking at the right time, and that the fuel that is being injected, is not too old.
