I have replaced the spark plugs & spark plug wires also did a oil change.
One morning it started fine drove it about 15-25 min and turned it off.
When I came back to start again 45 min. Later it would not start,it does turn over and try to start and sometimes it will start for one second and die?? Please help this is my only ride

Check fuel pump pressure first. It sounds like the pump went bad.

I had one of these and loved it...but worked on it a lot.
The fuel pump rarely goes out in these, start with your coil wire, is it connected? Said you changed plugs so....if it is fuel related check for the relays, there is also one hidden under a plate in the bottom of the steering column

That's correct. Check for fuel pressure and if you have it, check for spark.

Before anything is purchased, have you determined if the engine is getting spark and fuel?
