start by checking the fuel, then spark, points, coil, oil level, etc

Hi

Make sure the reds are staying on when cranking, if they go out you have a dead spot in the switch.

had some issues with the points in my bettle.

grab a feeler gauge and check they are open enough...

fixed my problem first try.. quickest thing to check first up i reckon...
