There are a number of things that can cause this. First and foremost is the spark plug so we need to remove it and see what it looks like. Can you get a picture of it and let us know if it is fouled? Below is a chart that will help with this.

Here is a guide that will help with a misfire as well:

Please run through this and we can go from there.
