if it runs or wants to, but bucks then it could be an issue with timing
if it has good spark but wont fire at all then it might be compression
could be a few different things, i have had similar problems which turned out to be a dead coil and weak fuel pump.
if you have access to a compression tester that would be a good start. But you can check the radiator for any milky oil, same with under the oil cap.
