did you buy new or used.most larger 4 strokes are started by turning the prop counter clockwise till compression is felt then hook up the glo driver and a quick flip counter clockwise and it should backfire and start running in the correct direction.If you bought the engine used,the valve timing may be messed up.

Sounds like your intake valve is to tight or not closing fully.
