Could be several things, so you need to give us more to go on. Did it die like the key was turned OFF, or start sputtering?
Do you have 12V on the + side of the coil?
Is you lanyard kill switch on the ON position?
Can you see gas squirt down the carb when the throttle is pressed?

Lets start here...

Did anything happen when you turned the key to try and restart? Did it turn over at all?
