Is the timing set correctly? Is the jetting (in the carb) stock? Is the carb OEM or a new eBay/Chinese item?
If the timing chain was stretched badly enough to be able to remove a link I would first advise replacing it for a new one.
It’s very hard to know how to advise you without knowing more about your ATV, things that have been changed, mods etc etc

Have you done a compression test since rebuilding the top end? Did you have the top end bored/honed to match the new piston and rings?
Does it run any better or any worse with the choke on?

Bored to take the next size piston I assume? Unless the timing is out it can only be a few things really. I’d clean the carb thoroughly and try again, set the fuel mixture as per the FSM.
