Default Bike left me stranded....

Unsure on what section this would go in... so here we go
I was riding then suddenly bike sounded like a lawnmower and felt I was running on 1 cylinder... twisted throttle to full to try and keep my current speed to get to the side of the road but I just kept losing speed, pulled over bike shut off... couldnt get it to start back up not even with quickstart, sloshed the tank around even added 1 gal. and still nothing... just turns and turns and turns...... any ideas?

Start with fire or fuel. It's gotta have both. Sounds like fire, so pull a plug and attach the wire back to it, ground it to the head and see if the plug fires while cranking it over.
