You got carb problems most likely -- take the air box off and drizzle just a few drops of gas in the carb, wait a couple secs then try starting it. If it turns over and runs for a few secs then that's it. Take carbs apart and clean, clean, clean.

 

Icy, if you are still having problems go to vfrdiscussion.com and talk to those guys. They are amazing and know everything there is to know about Viffers, especially the old ones. Not only the people are awesome, the site is truly dedicated to VFR's and it is an awesome collection of information.
