Default K-301 Backfiring

I’m trying to get one of my 129s running. I’m not sure how long it has been since it last ran. When I first tried to start it, it just turned over but didn’t try to start. I went to cut grass, and tried to start it again after I was done. Now it was backfiring through the carb at first. I let it sit a few minutes, tried again and not it was backfiring through the exhaust.

What would cause this? My dad thought maybe the timing was off.

There was a stuck valve, I was able to free it up. I also sanded the points, but did not adjust them. I’m pretty sure the carb is adjusted right, or at least close enough for it to run.
