You may want to check the timing, point gap, etc.

Start at the beginning, make sure all 3 of the screens in the fuel system are clean. Remove to plug from the bottom of the carb and be sure you have a full flow through it. Also pull a plug wire to be sure you have a BRIGHT BLUE spark and not a weak yellow spark.

It really sounds like you have a weak spark problem.
