You need 3 things to start, fuel, air and fire.

take the sparky out and check for fire.
take the air filter out check clean and dry.
check the carb bowl for gas, take the drain plug out and catch it in a pan.
or if it has a drain nipple then put on a clear fuel line and check how high the fuel level is. should come up to the bowl gasket with the petcock in prime.

Make sure you check your voltage every so often. Rectifier is going out on my bike & I had almost the same thing wrong as what you described.
