get the repair manual that is specific for your motor. it will tell you how to test your stator, trigger, rectifier and your ignition coils with a volt meter. probably one of these is bad and not allowing the fire to be sent to your plugs.
should be this one (assuming its a 6 cyl)

also make sure the emergency kill switch thing didn't get activated (bumped by accident or something).

I would be looking at the coil... most likely it is gone.

Good luck.
