Reply To: What am I doing wrong guys?

First things first. What kind of compression does it have? Is it running on two cylinders? Do you have good flow through the sintered filter in the tank? Preliminary setting on carb are 1-1/2 turns on slow speed and 3/4 turn on highs speed. Needs adjusting from there—usually needs to be leaned out.

I’m betting it is running on one cylinder.

Highly unlikely there is anything wrong with flywheel installation.

I had one where the previous owner had installed the pistons backward. But it ran sort of ok, but lacked horsepower.
