First things first, remove battery & take it to auto parts store to be load tested, no cost to you. If battery is good use multi meter to troubleshoot, Rivets has a chart you can follow. Post your 917 Model Number from under your seat.

Purchase a carburetor kit, clean & rebuild carburetor. Change oil & filter.
