Ok have you tried the engine on choke only

Ok so im wondering whether the choke solenoid is stuck and letting in excess air without letting in fuel is yours a manual or an electric choke/primer valve

Also a thought you said the carb was rebuilt was the float switch set correctly so only fuel enters the carb before the float pin engages I have known Air to enter with incorrectly levelling to floats in carbs

Can u show a picture of the choke on this engine

So as far as we know good compression good spark, carb all clean and all jets cleaned and no air leaks ? Is fuel new and right mix ?

I mean where the flywheel meets the woodruff key is that worn

Oh I didnt see the age of this post lol my bad but it could help someone if they have the same issue 😅

Is the underside of the flywheel scored or worn at all if so maybe its slipping

Check the woodruff key that adjoins the crank to the flywheel if the key is sheared the timing is out and the engine will not start at all, will just backfire here and there

Does it try to start every now and then and backfire ? If so its possible you have a sheared woodruff key
