I had a magnum 12 that would idle but anything above that it would just pop and backfire, turns out mice had eaten the insulation off the plug wire and it was arcing off the block, not sure if this is your issue but either way the engine has to come out. If that does turn out to be the problem you can repair it by slicing some fuel line down the side and put it over the wire with some zip ties.
