Got a manual? If ya don't, get one. You're gonna need it. Triumph or Clymer are good.
You did drain the tank completely and refill with fresh fuel, of course? Just a little water makes starting impossible, and old gas don't help any.
And you know all about tickling your Amal(s)? (if you have one)
Check the valve adjustment and static timing. If it ran before, it should run now without changing either one, but
If it was running bad last year there was a reason.
After charging the battery(?) and making sure the points are clean, dry and gapped right. try priming the carb(s) or a shot of starting fluid.
If it fires after a prime but not without one, the problem is in the fuel system. Make sure you're getting fuel (not water and last years gunk) to the carb. If it still wont run, pull the carb(s)
and clean 'em up. Amals are easy and advice free.
If you try everything above and it still won't run, try NEW plugs. I have seen it make the difference.
