air leak. check all fuel lines and tank connections. is the carb on tight? are you SURE you didn't get it hot during break in and burn the glow plug? or worse, lose compression? If you can spin the flywheel by a finger compression is lost and you need a rebuild. air leaks at the exhaust will cause these issues also.

when in doubt start with fresh fuel, fresh glow plug and new ffuel lines.
