Re: Engine was running, then not, now is rough.

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are some tests you can do to the carb to help figure if it is needy of rebuilding: see http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Troubleshooting.htm and for a more comprehensive carb troubleshooting manual you can download one here:
http://www.championparts.com/carb_troubleshooting_guide.pdf

Did you replace everything on the list first, then have the timing chain fail? Assuming you put the new timing gear/chain on correctly, not off 1 tooth, too. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
