well it could possibly be the valves out of adjustment, check the compression and let me know.

could also be the timing is off.

pull the spark plug, put it in the splug wire cap, turn the engine by hand until it fires, the check to see if the piston is all the way up.  
Keep it RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!
