    before you go near the carbs . Check for a spark . take out a spark plug,put the plug cap on and hold the plug to the engine block to ground.

    turn the engine and look for a healthy blue spark. .

    +1. If it starts for a sec with Easi-Start and there is fuel in the tank (with the fuel tap switched on!) then its stuck floats and a gentle tap might free it. Otherwise its float bowl off time and on an old CX you'll need a fresh gasket if you open it. www.davidsilverspares.co.uk for any bits you need...
