Got an old Murray lawn tractor from a shed where it had been sitting for 7 years. I finally got the Kohler CV15s engine running, but now when throttle is over half speed I hear a knocking sound. Sounds like something out of balance or maybe backfiring? You can listen to the engine at this YouTube link:

Work I have done so far:
Rebuilt carburetor, replaced all other fuel system hoses, filters, etc.
Replaced spark plug.
Changed oil filter and oil.
Replaced air filter.
Any help of this would be appreciated
