what all did you do to it during that one year period. We need some more info to diagnose the problem.

sounds like your valves might be too tight, valve clearance that is

may be running lean. Either that or if u just rebuilt it, the rings might not have seated

My first thought is it's lean, what does the plug look like?
if its been sitting for a year u probably need to clean the carb out

Sounds lean. I too think the carb may need a little cleaning!
