Are the valves moving proper? Time to pull the valve cover and see. Push rods where they belong?

There are 2 TDC strokes on a 4 stroke engine. Could of set valves wrong.

Something is getting missed. Or some "new" part is not working proper.

UPDATE. I found the problem and I feel really stupid. The new carburetor came with the wrong gasket which allowed it to suck gas directly from the bowl. Installed the correct one and it runs like a champ
