It's getting spark and puffs of smoke come out the pipe. Is there something I may be missing? Next step for me would be taking the valve cover off and rechecking everything. Any ideas?

So you started it once after the valve job and then it sat? Then you went for a longer ride and it died?
You said it ran but not well....did you actually ride it at all right after the valve adjust or just start it to check things out?
