Do any lights come on when you turn the key? Do you need to pull in the clutch leaver to start? Make sure engine kill switch is in run position, Make sure you have petrol if more than 2 months old change it. Check main and ignition fuses are OK in fact check all fuses while your at it.

If it was stored for the winter the high speed jets are probably gummed up. This is at least worth a try.

Mix it a little stronger than one ounce to five gallons. good luck hope this helps.
