Hi, has it been stood?
I'd start with a carb rebuild, usually cures most starting problems. Maybe try some new plugs aswell, tho i think there 10mm plugs on a nc24 so dont die that easily, but at least its done then.
While you have it in bits you may aswell check the valve clrearances, just to makes sure its all as honda intended.

Cheers
