3.5 B&S Murray Mower Won't Start After Tank Cleaning
I mowed half the lawn this morning, finding that i had crap in the gas tank, so I pulled the tank and drained it. At the same time I put a universal mulcher blade on.
Now when I try to start it's firing once and kicking back. Got gas, got spark, got air. I suspect I got something out of whack when I reassembled. Ideas?
Any help appreciated.

Sounds to me like the blade is not tight and is turning on the shaft. A tight blade is necessary on compliance engines as it is a part of the flywheight needed to keep the engine rotating the same direction versus kicking back.
Other than that, a sheared flywheel key is about the only other thing that would cause it to kick back.
