Check your timing and valve adjustment. Think it's worse than that. Do a compression check.

Either way, it's probably caused by a sticky or burned valve. Check and correct the valve adjustment, then do a compression test. If one or more cylinders checks low, do a leakdown test where air pressure in applied through a spark plug hole with the crankshaft locked, and listen for a leak at the carburetor, tailpipe, and oil filler to see where the pressure is escaping. You're probably headed for a valve job to solve the problem.
