Default 1987 250 X won't fire

I have tow '87 250 X honda's. one stopped firing now the other has also. At first it would fire when you first star tit and then go dead. Then if would not fire again until a day later. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, they have been very reliable. Although I hve not ridden them much in the last 3 or 4 years. Other than the idle jet getting clogged when I let it set too long this is the only problem I have had with either of them. The first one I have had since about 1990 and the other since about 1993.
