Try the simple/ cheap things first. Fresh fuel and a new spark plug. Then go from there.

Is the breather screw open on your fuel tank/cap????

Another thought, something similar happened to me once and I found I had the fuel hose around the wrong way, that's if your motor has a separate portable fuel tank.

Simple things first... compression test to stop you beating around the bush!!!
