How old is the clutch? Have you done any work or had work done to the transmission or clutch?

A bit more info will help...

Fuel injection or carb?

When was it last serviced and what was done?

Did you do or replace anything before it went wrong?

Any strange or extra noises?

Any air pipes fell off or electrical connection fell off?

Any fuel in the filter, you can only see if a carb engine...

How the fuel tank and fuel filler neck looking, any rusty holes? (shine a torch down the filler neck)
