Answer
there are 2 different things to look at for your problem. It can either be electrical or fuel problem. Since it doesn't start now you need to check a couple of things. Remove the spark plugs and turn the bike over and check to see if your plugs are sparking. If you don't know how to do this let me know. If you are getting spark then remove the air filter and looking down the throat of the carb, crank the throttle. Did you see a shot of gas squirting?
Let me know what you find
