Look at the spark plugs, and if it still has them the points condenser. If it cranks with the starter, and cranks well, then I don't think its a battery or charging issue. You could have a bad connection, giving low voltage to the ignition coil, or it could be a fuel level problem, being to high and causing flooding. Any fuel below the bike, or in the crankcase oil after sitting?
Have you checked your valve clearances, maybe they are to tight? Pretty easy on the 305.

No go, just cranks and cranks and no start. I'm thinking flooded because day was warm and should not have used the choke. Had coworkers push a bit, while stifling their laughter, , popped clutched and it started right up. Rode fine going home, just a bit rough but smoothed out nicely after a mile or two. Got home let it sit a bit. Tried to start and it just cranked and cranked. What do I look for, battery? ThanksY
Does it have a kickstarter?
