More info please:

Camshaft, compression, carb etc.

A compression test should be done to rule out anything that could be wrong with the engine.

The spark plugs at only 1000 miles old doesn't mean rule them out either.
I've had a spark plug fail at 300km, and I thought the same thing until I found it.
