Hello, welcome to Just Answers. My name is XXX, XXX I would like to help you with your question

Tim K :

check the flywheel key. a sheared flywheel key will let the flywheel turn, and throw off the ignition timing.

Tim K :

also try applying choke to the carb when running. if this clears it up, then you are still chasing a fuel problem. otherwise check out the key
