First, did you compare where the "key to magnet placement" is VS the new part??
IE: For instance, the key at 12 o'clock, magnet at 3 o'clock.. Both are identical ?
If, above is exact, it sounds like the timing is off.
First, is the coil on the correct way? If upside down, it won't run right.
Second, I suspect the cam dot to crankshaft dots are off. Sometimes the dots are
SUPER SMALL and easily over looked. Just removing the sump cover can allow you
to double check... Don't use the squarish part of the crankshaft keyed GEAR for your
alignment.
You can check by watching the piston come up to TDC on the compression stroke.
You should see the intake open just before, both closed when at TDC, and shortly thereafter
exhaust open.
