Clean the carburetor and adjust, do a compression test and set the valves, make sure the magneto makes a good spark and the wires and plugs are good, and check the timing. Also check to see if the air pipe is open, sometimes insects and the like will crawl in and built nests and block your air supply. Should run unless something is broken in the engine.
