129 Almost Starts

The 129 cranks over well, begins to fire but never catches.It After a while during cranking it backfires out the muffler and sometimes out of the carb, sometimes out of both. I took the head off, the valves looked clean but I cleaned the faces and seats but the symptoms remain. It ran well 3 weeks ago!
Any thoughts? I'm stumped.
Thanks

Check your coil. I am amazed at the number of coils lately that have been bad, including mine.

Here is the link with stats to check your coil:

I had something like this happen to my 149, turned out to be a faulty spark plug. Installed a new one and it started right up.
