[Louis C. Armer, Jr.]

First make SURE your gas gauge is accurate and you haven't run out of gas

next

Take the air horn and air cleaner off the engine ..........move the accelerator
arm and observe if any gas is squirting in carbs.............if not it may 
be an
air leak in your  fuel line rubber hoses..........one at gas tank and one 
over rear
wheel .............. if these are okay .........remove the oil dipstick and 
check for
a raw gas smell  from the dipstick oil ..............if you have this smell 
the fuel
pump membrane has ruptured and the carbs are not getting any gas.............

It may be electrical.......... check with engine OFF for any breaks in the 
small
electrical wires to your ignition coil................

Good Luck,
