I actually went to look to make sure that my timing was correct on my flywheel and cam sprocket, and it turns off that i was off by a tooth. I got it all set up so it's perfect and it's running a lot better. Now it runs really inconsistent, but at least that tells me that it's fuel and i can move from there. Thanks for the help!
