It actually sounds like you crossed your spark plug wires, its easy to do. Should be the first thing to check.

I just installed a motor once and thought I had the plugs hooked up right at the cap. Anyways, it ran like *** and I looked at the distributor again. Then the firing order. I started at #1 on the cap and installed the wires going the other direction on the cap. Cleared my problem right up.
