Here, I’m bored. [ Problem. (Solution.) ]

The engine does not start or running engine stops:
Fuel valve is closed. (Open fuel switch or switch fuel valve to "reserve.")

Fuel tank is empty. (Switch fuel valve to "reserve" or fill with fuel mixture.)

Spark plug is contaminated. (Clean spark plug.)

Spark plug is defective. (Replace spark plug.)

Ignition cable has worked loose or come off. (Properly plug spark connector.)

Too much or too little gas. (Open throttle about 1/3.)

Vehicle put out of operation with fuel valve open. (Start with throttle wide open.)

Choke operated with warm engine. (Remedy as above.)

Fuel valve is clogged. (Have it cleaned by a workshop.)

Main jet is clogged. (Clean main jet.)

Float needle not fixed in its notch. (Remove float needle and engage it.)
