have you tried a different spark plug? if not that then check the ignition coil supplying spark to the plug thats fouling

You just go to the link I attached I'm sure you will get the solution of your problem.

Very common problem needs carb rebuilt or clogged, just not getting fuel.

might have bad gas or dirty spark plug check the gap on your plug and maybe the coil

if electric start could be the starter solenoid or flat battery try jump start maybe first

do a compression test just did another kaw 23 blew both head gaskets

perform a compression test low compression will not draw in fuel into the cylinder see them blow head gaskets around 2500 hrs

a lot of the over head valve engines run into this carbon build up on the valve stem will bend a push rod

check the operation of the valve on the bottom of the carb

it is one of two problems - your engine uses a cam with a plastic gear - this gear has a tendency to move - it will probably need replacement . there is also a chance that the valve seat is coming loose (overhead valve ) which keeps the valve open - check the distance of the valve stems to make sure they are both out the same distance if they are not then when you put a new pushrod in and adjust it the valve will be pushed too far and hit the piston in turn bending the pushrod
