Not to belittle your problem, but you gotta understand something man.
WE don't know what you did or how you did it, so how can we say what you did wrong, if anything?
We could set here all day and night giving you things to check and still not figure out what's wrong with a machine we don't know and can't see.
What I've found over the years are that if it stops, start somewhere and eliminate all the obvious, and then start looking where you least expect to find something wrong.
You say it won't start. Does that mean that it will not turn over? Turns over, but doesn't fire? Nothing when you hit the key?
If it were mine, I'd check the voltage regulator settings and or burnt points, bad condenser, broken wire, loose wire, weak grounds, bad switch, weak S/G, Loose screws in the operator and on and on and on.
Oh yea!
As far as the check the FAQ answer that many get and then complain that they want answers and not another place to try and help themselves first.
Consider this, consider how much time and effort that it took for guys to do the things in the FAQ's and then consider the time it took to do them and then consider how many questions have been and could have been answered by checking them first.
And lets not forget the ever forgettable search function, that very few use. A good example is the wiring diagram that was asked for earlier and Kraig used the search and found it.
I'm not pickin on you specifically, so don't take it that way. Just help us help you before you go gettin short. 90% of the time, someone ask something, I do a search if I don't have it handy in my feeble mind to retrieve right away, LOL
That's my story and I'm stickin to it, even though I'll alienate many for it, and prolly get hate mail too.
