WELCOME TO LMF!
I would suggest looking at some other threads from people who have similar problems to see if they help. The following threads might really help:

Good luck! :smile:

I suggest you check the valve clearance. If it is off you will not get enough fuel into the cylinder. Post engine numbers and i'll find you a manual. Is it an Intec or Vanguarrd?Don't bother with the posts on the 160 or 170, they won't help you, because nothing was solved.

Hope this manual helps. Sorry I wasn't thinking. I assumed you had a Briggs after I saw the posts on the 160/170. I should know better. Sorry again.

If it's backfiring through the carb after squirting some gas in it, sounds to me like the flywheel key might be partially crimped but not quite sheared off. Doesn't take much of a dent in the key to make it kick and sputter etc. Check the flywheel key.

thats the fist thing i thought with the back firing already check it looked good
with out putting gas in the carb it just cranks no fire
