Im a newby so any advise would he awsome. After riding a few hours with a group of guys one machine broak down and had to get a tow. So it was a slow ride back 1st and 2nd gear all the way back.

Did you put the fuel petcock on reserve? (pointed straight up) Sounds like you may be running out of gas?
The carb bowl was full. Let it set for couple of hours still wouldn't start. Don't think it wad over heated, we would ride 5, 10 min then stop for 10, 15. Thanks ill replace plug if it don't start ill check reeds. It also will not idle ,dies every time.
turn the air/fuel mixture screw to the left once you get it going. just do what everybody else says to do.
replace the plug, mine did the same thing except i wasnt pulling anyone. I was just going down the rode and it quit, come to fnd out it over heated and fowled out the plug. Also do you have any mods done to it because it might need carb work (jets or just a good clean go through), thats also what i had to do with mine.
It doesn't sound like you've checked the spark yet. It can fire once just from compression. Take out the plug, put in in the plug boot and hold against a ground (motor works ok) whilt someone kicks it over. Should have steady sparking.
Also check those reeds. On your next post report back what you've done. Saves repetition.

Updat, but new plug in checked spark. It is good. Acts like not getting ANY gas. But the bowl on carb if full. Reeds?
