Thats kind of vague. It could be alot of things. If you have a rotostart it could be the one way bearing. It could be a bad seal in your carb. It could be a broken con rod or lose of compression. Or it could just be flooded or have a bad glow plug.

If you have no compression your engine is shot and needs a new piston and sleeve. Or a new engine.

Take the engine out and take the back plate off to see if there s any damage inside or any loose bits. Next take the cooling head off and chec for damage to the top of the piston or scoring along the sleeve. Post pictures if you can.
