If it is blowing gas back out of the carb, the intake valve can't be closing properly, or somehow the camshaft timing is off. The last time I saw an engine spitting gas back out of the carb, a small capscrew from the air cleaner mounting plate had gotten ingested into the intake and was lodged between the valve and cylinder head. The valve did move, but did not close and seat.
