Hi,

More than likely you have warped the head or in other ways lost compression in the engine. This is very common on engines that are run this way.

Even if this is not the ultimate cause, we need to start here because you need three things to run an engine. Compression, fuel, and spark. Let's start with ensuring compression is good before moving on. Thanks
