you need to find the fault before pulling the engine.

 

check the timing and fuelling first.

[Earwax]

as above.

check fuel filter, fuel at the carbie, and air filter blockage.... don't discount timing either... did you gap the plugs correctly/ 

[dklawson]

I agree with both of the above suggestions.  I particularly agree with Earwax' suggestion that you look carefully at the fuel flow.

As above again, the engine does not need to be pulled out to check the basics first

 

When doing the above suggestions also check you have enough oil in the top of the carb, its a screw top called the dashpot
