I work on small engines all of the time & know for a fact that you have to have fuel, Compression and a spark to get things running plus everything has to happen at the right time. 1st run a compression test - It needs to be around 125 psi - You say you checked the flywheel key - Was it just a visual inspection w/o pulling the flywheel? If so the flywheel has to come off because the key can be sheared even the smallest amount & cause the ignition to be out of time. Is this an eng.w/points or electronic ignition made onto the coil? If it is electronic it will fire even w/a sheared key. My bet is that the intake valve is not seating off & causing the blow back thru the carburetor. The valve will need to come out & the valve face & seat will need to be cleaned then laped in & the valve face may also ne to be refaced in a machine shop then lapped in w/lapping compound. If you do this then check the valve clearence between the valve stem & lifter - W/the engine on the compression stroke & piston @ top dead center and both valves closed it should be around .011 thousandths. Try this and let me know if things work out
