2. the timing advancer was so rusty i clean it. like in manual . only before then i use T mark on 1 cylinder the pointer was in the left side now after cleaning its in right. and on coil wire is black on 1-4 cylinder and green 2-3.
2, the mechanic do test for valves he test using 10.bar pressed air and it was hold no leaks. all 4 cylinder. only he dont like that engine is not so hard sucking all mixture in to engine .

Do you have a timing light? Can you verify the timing on all 4 plugs? That is, from F mark to double line mark and back, and at the RPMs specified in the manual. To get marks on the 2-3 side, just draw a line from the 1-4 mark, through the center of the advancer, to the other side. You'll have to estimate a little bit.
It sounds like a possibly frozen advancer. That will stop a motor from developing any power, but it may rev fully with no load. Have you tried moving the advancer by hand? It should easily move forward to a stop, then snap back... like a well oiled gun.
Even with stock jetting, it wouldn't run that bad just from having pods on it. If it was a lean main jet, you would initially be able to go WOT in high gear, as that is when it would be rich. As the RPMs go up, then it would start hesitating (from leanness). But if you can't go WOT in higher gears, it's not likely the main jet. A retarded advance would cause that symptom, and would be very sputtery, as if the ignition was failing.
Other possibilities, but not nearly as likely: Weak coils, weak igniter, plug gaps too big (way too big), .... probably others I'm forgetting.

In the pic you have the T mark lined up. That's for cam timing NOT ignition. Set it so it will fire on the F mark.

It should be a transistorized ignition.
It needs to be timed using the F mark at idle.
If it truly is that far off, you can slot the plate, but there are other possible reasons for the timing being off.
It's possible the magnets are not assembled correctly if you or someone else took it all apart.

Or it's possible the iron pointer of the rotor is not located correctly on the rotor tube.
For that, you can just press the iron rotor off of the tube and press it on in the correct orientation.
To set/check it, make sure the advancer is fully in the retarded position. Rotate the crank clockwise, when viewed from the ignition side, until the F mark lines up with the pointer cast into the engine case. The point of the rotor should be just barely past the center of the pickup (with blue and black wires). If it's far off, use a sharpie to mark where it should be and press the rotor off, then back on in the correct position.
