Try enriching the fuel air mixture.

That does help but not fully illuminate the backfire; and then it does run rich.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

This is a new condenser but I have no idea if it’s compatible with the old one. This is a battery ignition with no magneto. Thanks for your thoughts. Not sure where I could find an original condenser for this motor any ideas there?

This is the closest information I could find regarding the condenser “value”.

All of Tubs ideas sound good, but be careful spraying carb cleaner
around a hot, running engine.

Prepare to be boarded!
