Barking back through the carburetor. And it won't run

There are several different things that can cause this. But let's check the easiest one first. Ignition timing. All you need for this is a timing light. Hook the light to the spark plug wire, point the gun at the hole on the left side crankcase so it flashes on the flywheel/rotor. When it flashes, you should see the TDC line somewhere in the hole. If you don't, the magneto is not timed right from the factory, and it is a warranty problem. If you do the problem is on the other side (the timing side) of the engine, and we'll discuss that next time...ARH for reading.
