Did you properly tension the belt? The crank should only be turned counterclockwise.

That should be fine. Once the belt is on, turn only counterclockwise.

You've got other issues.
Actually, 1-3K......it's a Honda engine. There is no power in that RPM range.

Yep, start by checking the ignition timing. If you can't time the engine by turning the distributor, then the mechanical timing is probably off.
