Pull the spark plug. Is it wet? do you smell fuel? is the plug still working? Burn the junk off the plug if there is any with a torch. Sounds weird. Timing off? it's REALLY hard to diagnose is without actually seeing/hearing it. If the plug's dry, fuel delivery problem. If it's wet, your getting fuel and there is something wrong with timing/compression/valves/coil/cdi (one or more)

jet your carb bud, im at sea lvl and i run 155 main, if i was you id start at a 160 and jet up from there, i dont know what elevation your at but you should prolly change out your pilot too and adjust your needle.

sounds stupid, but is your gas on? alot of people find out that gas off is their prob.
