I had the 90cc version of this bike and it had the restrictive exhaust. Mine always started on one or two kicks. It too was beat by the PO, but I brought it back to beat it some more.
My guess is that you replaced the plug with a new one. The next thought is that the exhaust may be plugged up with residue from the oil burning.
