On guys here we go again
My Intel 17.5 wouldn't run. Found a bent push for and replaced it now it turns over but backfires through the carburetor any ideas

Did you set the valves correctly after you replaced the push rod?
Finding TDC with spark plug removed.

Spark plug may be fouled from backfire.

I think I adjusted values correctly turns over easy so I think it's engaging the compression release

Not necessarily indicative of correct settings.
