whats the symptoms? is it cranking normal? no odd noises or anything hitting? are you sure the head was never decked before you did it? it could be completely unrelated to the head, but theres not enough info to go by, is it cranking slowly due to compression and a low battery? maybe the spark plug boot is loose on the wire?

Wet plug?
Sounds like it's flooded.
OR......no fuel...hand choke it w/2 fingers in front of the carb.
There is no reason for the shaved head to cause a no start condition.

Probably a dumb question but did u adjust valves? Taking off 30 thousands will change valve geometry alot.
