Is the timing off? you can pull the 3 timing covers.. there is one big one on the side of the head, and one small and even smaller one on the side of the crank case.. the two smaller ones should come out with a flat screwdriver.. make sure there is minimal slack in the timing chain. and that both timing marks line up correctly. Once you have the timing covers off, pull the plug and you can turn the motor over easy with a socket and ratchet..

I would throw some new reeds in and a fresh plug, then see what happens.
